After getting the house cleaned from everyone being sick, I was finally able to set up my new sewing machine and learn the basics before trying out a few projects. The boys think the sewing machine is pretty cool and like to "help" so I let them pick out fabric and we made new pillowcases for their beds and I made a new sheet for Ruth, all from flannel to be cozy through the winter. They turned out well and am looking forward to trying out some new projects as I get time.
