Sewing Class 101

I have always wanted to learn how to sew, but haven't had the courage to learn. Actually, I'll be honest...I don't have the patience either. i want it to be perfect the first time. I have a ton of friends that are expecting kids in the next few months so I wanted to make a few blankets.

I found this adorable free pattern at Joann's on one of my many crafting trips and decided that this was what I wanted to make. The instructions said that it was intermediate level and would take 3-4 hours to complete. I figured I would double the time since I have no clue what I am doing. Luckily Josh's Grandma Judy is a superb seamstress and makes tons of adorable blankets with embroidery. I called her up and luckily she was more than willing to teach me how to sew.

The entire process took 4.5 hours. Not too shabby if I say so myself. I had so much fun spending the day with Grandma Judy and her teaching me her craft. I can't wait until the next project!!
