sewing

I love the idea of sewing.
I love looking at sewing books.
I love reading sewing blogs.
I love coming up with great projects.
I love buying cheap shirts and imagining them as cute J. Crew designs.
I love bookmarking cute ideas.
I even love buying great fabric.

But I get scared to death of actually cutting fabric and attempting to put it back together into something cute with my basic, beginner sewing skills.

So this summer I've made a sewing list and I'm going to actually do it.

What's the worst that can happen? I already use my seam ripper more than my sewing machine :)

Here are a few projects I've attempted...

I love owls. I think they are just precious! This one is from little miss blue blog.



Bad picture. Fun baby headband made from little baby tights.



Is there anything cuter than these ruffle-butt onesies that are all over the blog world now? I think not.






I love this tutorial from Happy Together of the Placemat Clutch.

I'm off to work on my list...
