i heart sewing

I think I have told you that my newest hobby (addiction) is sewing.  I learned early last summer.  A friend of mine started a business teaching sewing classes right near my office.  I took a tote bag class and before I knew it, a sewing machine was in my dining room ready to go.  I have taken several classes with Melissa since.  It is a great way to get together, chat, learn, and create!  I have made quite a few handmade gifts since that first tote class: table runners, placemats, cloth napkins, fabric buckets for the smallest nephews, a paint brush holder, and a few totes.

Reversible!

I made my first quilt, baby size, for a friend's little one.  

I just finished a bag and table runner for moi!

With lots of pockets!

I think the pancakes look so much more appetizing with Lotta Jansdotter fabric underneath!
