Inaugural Post!

I am notoriously bad about finishing what I start.  It's a family trait.

A little over a year ago, my MIL gave me a sewing machine.  It was a nice little Janome Jem Gold that a friend of hers was getting rid of.  I thanked her nicely and put the bag with the machine in the closet.  A couple months later, I pulled it out and starting sewing pieces of fabric to other pieces of fabric.  It seemed to go OK.  I didn't invest a lot of money in fabric or notions because, well, I never stick with anything I start.  I found some tutorials on the internet.  I made some zipper pouches and pillow covers.  I made a couple of weird jersey shirts.  I made an elastic waist skirt.  I spent more money on fabric and accouterments.  I made more stuff.

Then, last November, I bought my own sewing machine; something with a few more bells and whistles than the Janome.  I have a sewing room in my house.  It used to be the small room, but now it's the big room.  I have a stash of fabric.  I've made some fitted skirts.  I'm contemplating making a pair of pants.  I want to make a dress.  And a cardigan.  And some proper t-shirts.

I've started this blog to catalog things I've already made in the past, and to talk myself through things I want to make now and in the future.  Like these pants.  I'm terrified of these pants.

I will also link to all the amazing, wonderful craft and sewing blogs out there.  I will probably also post about other random stuff that comes to mind.
