Sew Fantastic!

This is Michelle, otherwise known as Shell-Pie, my BFF. Yesterday we spent the day shopping, eating and learning. Shell-Pie taught me how to sew!!!!!


Yeah, I know this looks a little dated, but gimme a break. It's the cutest picture I could find of us. You don't expect me to post a wacky pic do you?

So I recently bought some material from Joann's because I wanted to change the curtains in our living room. Seeing as I'm picky about my home decorating, I couldn't find just the right curtains, so I decided to make my own. Keep in mind that I decided to make my own curtains before I even thought about learning how to sew. I was feeling very confident.

I thought about sewing these by hand, but Shell-Pie saved me many needle pricks and taught me the basics.



"Measure twice, cut once." Shell Pie's quote of the day.



Then we got down to the nitty gritty and started sewing my curtains!

As I was toiling away Shell-Pie was working on her own creations. She made these two cut little dish towels



and this super funky throw pillow.



I'll post a pic of the curtains hanging soon so you can see how fantastic they look. I couldn't have done them without Shell-Pie's help. I am SEW thankful for her help and am so blessed to have her as my friend.

That being said...


I couldn't help myself!
