I think I can...I think I can...

Sew. I think I can sew. I don't have any idea how to use my sewing machine perfectly yet but hopefully I can figure that out. My goal is to make some cute ghost costumes for my kids. I've sewn a pillowcase. That's it and that was hard enough. (I know, a pillowcase should be easy but sewing doesn't come naturally to me. :P) I have plenty of time though. If you think 7 days is enough time lol! I've been so busy with work and school and church and everything that I haven't had time for this little adventure until now. Really though, how hard can it be to make little ghost costumes? Probably more difficult than I think. I wish sewing came naturally to me like it does to many people I know. I have a friend that changed a maternity outfit into a dress recently. It was awesome! No pattern, just figured it out. Here's to hoping I can "figure" these ghosts out. I hope it does go well because I only spent $12 on enough material . Compared to $15 per costume from the store. I like saving money and I like even more when something I've made works out lol!!

sending good vibes your way! I was just telling the ladies in the ward that my sewing maching and I don't exactly get along...I don't know why. It likes my husband more than it likes me and we both aren't very good at it! *shrug* what da ya do? At least your trying, your bound to get better that way. Maybe I need to go back to pillowcases again??
