Introducing....my Mom. She is making a cameo appearance on my blog today. :) You know, my mom who left this comment on one of my posts:
"...did you know you were actually adopted? Martha Stewart was your mother, but she was too busy making her millions to raise you, so I did it for her--but now I'm just going to have to give you back to her--the family connection can no longer be hidden."
Well, my Mom may not be Martha Stewart...but she has some mad sewing skills! She helped me whip up this apron at super-speed...well, it took a few hours, but that's super-speed in my book (especially since the first hour of our sewing night was spent trying to get my machine to have the right amount of tension)!!! And we plan to do some more tonight!
Things I learned from my mom last night:
-How to used the back-stitch feature (correctly) on my machine
-How to use bias tape (and how awesome and easy it is!)
-That the tension on my machine was ALL WRONG
-How to zig-zag stitch
Is it really bad that I have never tried a zig-zag stitch on my machine before last night? Umm...probably. :S
