i have a confession
i do not sew
not a button
not a hole
and surely not a stole
but i have always wanted to
here is the proof:
bought at a friends yard sale
4 years ago
used it once
attempted to sew a princess skirt
fell apart a week later!
as a kid
mom and nana sewed
cute dresses for
us girls
i don't aspire to be a designer
but can i just sew something?
something
and i could say
yeah, i sewed this
so here is my goal:
we have a week off school in november
i will sew something
you might see it here
daughter tells me tonight
she wants to be
little red riding hood
on story book character day at school
that's this week...
the pressure!
how hard can a cape be?
any suggestions for the sewing challenged?

Sewing challenged here too. Sorry.
I wish I could sew.
I have all kinds of great ideas, but no skills to back them up.
My mom was an awesome seamstress, but didn't pass it on...
Look what I found on the Crafty Crow this morning

No clue how to sew. My suggestion is to take it to a seamstress! haha
move back home and I could teach you in no time...sounds like a plan...right? love ya, mom
I know nothing about sewing. It's another one of those great skills that I wish I had and keep telling myself I will learn, but never actually DO anything to try and achieve said goal. Someday, I say... Someday..
Best of luck in sewing the cape! I'm sure you'll figure it out. :D You'll have to show us the finished product!
I can't sew and like you, SO wish I could. I'm anxious to see what you come up with!
Good luck sewing something! I just turned a sweatshirt into a Luke Skywalker tunic on my sewing machine :) Have you looked online for some basic sewing instructions? I found you on SITS - I'm going to check back to see what you come up with :)
I tagged you for a quick meme if you want to play along :D
YOU.CAN.DO.IT!
Then, after you're done with your cape, we can get together and make bags. They are sooo cute.
Oh, wait. Drats. That won't happen now will it?
Hold on! Did I already tell you that I have family in Tracy, CA?
That's not far, right?

p.s. Anyways, good luck, Martha!
Oh, yea...and I tagged you.
