Sewing Projects

I finished the curtains!



Not great, but not too terrible, either. I wish I had made the kitchen curtains wider so that they would bunch a bit. I made sure to fix that with the laundry center curtains.

Once I mastered (hah!) the art of simple hemming, I got brave and decided to try a project from a book I bought. It's a travel jewelry roll.




Isn't the fabric cute? I used the wrong interface, so it's not as flexible as it should be, but it's not a big deal. The most difficult part of the entire project was just trying to figure out how to put the zipper foot on the sewing machine. It took me about forty-five minutes! I only figured it out after resorting to Google Images. Obviously sewing is not intuitive for me.

Other sewing discoveries: the ladies at JoAnn Fabrics are way nicer than the ladies at Hancock Fabrics.
