I've decided that this will be the year of new things for me...things I have been wanting to do, wanting to try, for a really long time. The first item on my list that I want to tackle is learning to sew. I learned to sew when I was younger, in school as a class, but I haven't done it since. My mom gave me her old sewing machine quite a few years ago, which has been sitting around gathering dust. Every time a new season of Project Runway comes on, I claim that I am going to get my act together and get it out and learn...I haven't. Now it's time. There is a sewing store in my area that even offers classes, and I figure learning how to make a pillow can't be that hard, right? I guess we'll see...
I am so excited to learn. It would be so much fun to make kid's clothes, too - and clothes for my girls!
Do any of you sew? Or, is there something that you want to try this year that you want to share? I hope that I'm not the only one trying something new!
Once I have a product to share, I will post a photo of it - no matter how ugly it might turn out! I promise!
Happy New Year, everyone! I hope this year is a great one for everybody!

Well, you know I sew, but the machine has been collecting dust this last year. It's definitely time to get back in the swing of things. Too bad we don't live closer, I'd love to take the class with you.
I have a sewing machine too, but I use it mostly to make square things. Like curtains or tablecloths. =) I use to really enjoy to sew.
I am hoping to learn to knit this year. Make scarves for everyone next year for Christmas.

Project Runway makes me also want to sew!!! HGTV makes me want to fix up my home, FoodNetwork makes me want to eat, Biography Network makes me never want to have a drug addiction, hoard stuff or ever get lost in the wilderness. (I Survived...) YouTube has tons of stuff on learning how to sew, have fun learning!!!
