It's Sew 2010


One of my new year's resolutions is to learn to sew. My godmother gave me her sewing machine to use so I already have a jump start. I now just need to learn how to use it! So I will be signing up to take a beginning sewing class at The Needle Shop in Chicago. I have heard really great things about them and am excited to get started!

My goal is to be able to make my own purses and things for my apartment- like curtains and pillows.

While browsing some items on Etsy, I came across some things that I would love to make myself.


I am obsessed with anything that has ruffles. How cute is this little wristlet??

Or this throw pillow??

Or this tote??

And I really want to make some cafe curtains for the window above my kitchen sink.
