I am so proud of myself! Those of you who sew will probably not be impressed with this, but guess what? After years of telling my husband I do not sew...not even hems or buttons...I made him a red ultrasuede vest!!! I even lined it in black satin! I learned how to do darts and topstitch and everything! My friend helped me learn, but I sewed it! I'm having a label embroidered that says Handmade by Elizabeth Christmas 2005! I'm about to dislocate my shoulder patting myself on the back! Huge accomplishment for me though as one who doesn't sew! One thing I learned though is there are lots of little gadgets that make sewing tons easier, like a magnetic guid for the machine and point turners, etc./ I didn't even know those existed. I also used a serger on the satin! Gotta get me one of those handy machines.......I'm on a rolll!
