Giving it a shot

Hey everyone!

So I thought I'd give sewing a shot to relieve some of the work day stress of "life in a cubical"!

So far it's mostly been handbags. Those started as a set of bridesmaids gifts at my sister's wedding. Since then, I've tried using the same pattern with some different fabrics and with some little changes here and there. Among friends and colleagues at work, the've been received fairly well and I've even made a little money!

I'm also currently working on my first quilt for a friend that has been fun and pretty satisfying at the same time.

My husband, Jeff, helped get me started with my new sewing machine last year, and this year, he put together a set of shelves for our room-over that is pretty cool for keeping things organized.

So here goes! Keep checking back in to this blog for pics of new items that I'm working on and my random thoughts on sewing!
