Well, tonight I successfully sewed two pieces of material together. The stitches were even kinda straight. Kinda.
Tomorrow, I figure out what's next.

Well, it'll most likely be curtains. I'm working my way up in skills until I can make quilts and eventually my own shirts. I love loud print shirts. Love 'em!

I too spent several hours today with an unfamiliar machine.

If you do it right you can convert the curtains to shirts later, or upholster the couch with them or replace the shag carpet
Porter, if I were to shag some carpet, I'd be a gentleman about it and not come on here to brag about it.
you'd more likely have something to write about in your memoirs
It's not polite to shag the carpet other than in your own rooms.

Huh... I ordered 2 things online last week on Wednesday. They both arrived today. The weird thing is that 1 came from interstate and the other came all the way from America. Kind of unexpected for them both to arrive on the same day! Although I must say I'm impressed with the express shipping option on that American site. It was the cheapest shipping option, not too expensive really, and yeah - beat the hell out of the local shipping. 
Well, there you go. Not coming from a long line of seamstresses doesn't mean you can't break the cycle.
Why not have a go at making a tray cloth or a cushion cover, to start with? Woot!
Seams like you'll have it buttoned down in no time.
Sewing puns leave me in stitches.
I'm going to make curtains, first. Then, I'm going to finally hem my pants, because I'm tired of rolling the cuffs. Then, I'm going to finally make the apron I was supposed to make my freshman year of high school but totally destroyed because I'm sick of getting flour all over myself when I bake even though I probably won't bake anything for a long, long time because of the choices I've made regarding the food I now eat but either way I'd still like to have an apron because

I sewed some seeds once. Nothing grew, though - just a tiny blade of green that was immediately eaten by aphids. And my pants didn't even match!

Yep - "clear as an azure sky of deepest summer".
More like you put the words in a bag, shook them up, and then sprinkled them onto your post.

Just don't turn on a blacklight. I mean, unless you're a fan of Jackson Pollock.
