My First Sewing Project

For Christmas this last year I decided to try and save a little money by making my own gifts. Well with the help of my friend Allie, she let me borrow everything I needed (which really was everything, cuz I didn't have my own machine or anything to go with it.) and to my friend Dorothy and her mother (who are avid sewers) and a phone call or two to my famous Aunt Ree (who inherited ALL of my grandma walker's sewing talents) I did it! I made centerpieces that go with the holidays. I did them so they are two sided to all you had to do it flip them over for the next holiday. It really wasn't as horrific as I thought it would be, once I figured out what I was doing. And most of all I was proud of my self for doing it on my own. Dorothy and her mother really didn't even help me physically do them. They talked me through everything and I did it on my own but they were sitting right there for any and all help I may need. I can't thank them enough for it either.

This is just the reverse sides to show them. They turned out pretty good if I ask myself. Just don't look to close or you might find they really aren't perfect. :)
