I Made This!

My first attempt EVER at sewing. John bought me a huge, elaborate, gorgeous sewing machine for Christmas. I DESPERATELY want to be able to make things. Curtains, pillowcase dresses, napkins, bibs, jon jons... I have been so intimidated by this big honky machine, but I finally bit the bullet and pulled it out. After getting some very basic instructions on how to spool the thread, etc. from my neighbor's mother, I sat down and cut up an old napkin to fashion into a bib. I had to take the pic of Emory wearing it close, because I didn't put anything on the back to hold it together, and she was pulling it off as soon as I was putting it one :) At any rate, I sure am proud of this little first attempt!!
