So, I'm in trouble. I have plenty of homework to keep me busy at the end of the work day, and I can't stop wanting to sew things! So after turning in a few assignments, I started thinking of a pair of jeans I bought from the thrift store without trying on and, alas, were too small. And how I think the SEXIEST part of any pair of jeans is the fly. ...um...scissors. pins. SEWING MACHINE! NOW! I figured it'd be a fun way to get to know my sewing machine before I pick up the bigger project...Learned about reinforcing seams and changing out my bobbin tonight. And here's the outcome. I fought for nearly an hour trying to turn the strap (aka TUBE) inside out...ugh. But I'm sooo happy with how it turned out! Something cute to haul around on the weekends with my phone, chapstick, and keys. nothing too gigantic. Perfect. Since I didn't know it'd turn out so well, I didn't take pictures while I was doing...I think I'm going to start doing that!
