sewing, sewing, and then some more sewing

I've been dying to have some new clothes lately. The last few times I've tried to make something, it didn't fit right, which is really frustrating after I've spent so much time making it. But I've been motivated by Alysha's constant-creative-clothes-making-abilities and figured I could at least try. SO - I bought a lot of fabric on Saturday, and so far have made a linen skirt and a blouse. They even fit! And they look cute! I'm really excited. If I get a little braver, I might post some pictures (but right now, I've still got too much baby fat.)

Also - I'm starting another quilt. No, this isn't one I'm finishing up from my list of unfinished things, it's a new one. I'm crazy, I know. I just can't stay on one project for too long, it drives me crazy. I will have some help on this and I will also post a picture of it when it's finished.

That's neat that you do so many projects, Leigh! You're very inspiring. I used to really like sewing in middle school, lol. I really would love to start up again once I move out of my in-law's basement... *le sigh* Back in the day, I made cool stuff like stuffed animals and things and now I see them and I have no idea how I did it!

Alysha's got amazing things that she's sewed! Super awesome! Is she an Elmer?

I'd have to really hate shopping to go to all the work of sewing something and then not liking it. You are amazing. I agree, I want to see the skirt, even if it is on your cleared off black table!!
