The Bow.


1- I like to sew.
№ 2- I don't have a sewing machine anymore.
I sold mine at a garage sale.
Because it made me mad.
№ 3- I still want to sew.
№ 4- I'm friends with Brittany.
№ 5- Brittany likes to sew.
№6- We kinda need help.

We only know how to make things like pillows.
№7- Modern domestic has nice sewing machines.
And nice ladies to help you.
And a Friday night 3 hours for 10 bucks special.


This is all I have to show for it:



However, I am quite pleased with the results. It's all about quality not quaaaantity. right?
It really only took me about 30 minutes to make this. But it took me the other 2 1/2 hours to figure out what to make. Classic me.

I stuffed it with some fabric scraps to give it a little mmph, and Voila. Bow. Bam.

  3. Friend! This is the sweetest little handmade bow! I'll give you a Transformers band-aid and a stick of gum if you make me one? That's pretty much all I have in my purse. Ok, maybe many George Washingtons?

  4. Cute and I just love the color of fabric you chose. I just began learning to sew. My challenge is to make some easy, but fun items for my girls such as jumpers and skirts:) Can't wait to see what else you make!

  9. Oh I'm so glad we're friends. You are such a beautiful, funny, and really encouraging neighbor. You're like the ice to my cream, the antlers to my deer, the bow to my head! Another sew date please!
