A stitch in time ...

In an effort to someday teach my daughters to sew, I have now taken the necessary first steps. Thanks to my Grandmother's sewing machine and two friends showing me the basics I learned how to sew a fairly straight line. A few days later I took on my first project. With no pattern in hand I made an apron for Grace. It is far from perfect, but she loves it and that is plenty of inspiration for me to continue this new journey.
I am thrilled to say that Grace did help with this project. She lifted the foot up and down as needed and cut extra thread off of the apron. She was a diligent student.

Apron #2. I have to admit I am really enjoying sewing.
