My sister's good friend is going to teach me how to sew. Yippee! I'm excited. I usually do all of my sewing by hand and I've been wanted to start using a machine. I've been sewing with alot of denim lately (purses, book covers, etc.) and wanted to make some Christmas gifts, but sewing them by hand is too time consuming, so I'm looking forward to it. An added bonus is my sister is going to babysit while I take my "lessons". I'm really looking forward to that.
