This one is not a hobby…
August 5th, 2009 -- Posted in domestic engineering, family, house to home, pics | Comments OffI swear. I’m learning to sew for practical purposes only. 
And my very first sewing project was to complete the fabric covers for the kids’ toy shelves. I found the material years and years ago and had someone sew one panel for me. And the rest of the fabric got set aside until “later”.
It’s finally “later”.
So looking at the existing panel had me thinking it couldn’t be that difficult. I’ve used the sewing machine before to sew a few scrapbook pages together, so I thought I would try my hand at using it for its’ intended purpose. And I actually sat down and read the manual cover to cover… I still messed things up at first (a lot), but I eventually got the hang of it.
And the final product turned out pretty cute. Not only did I sew the other panel, I used the leftover fabric to make a bunch of ties to hold the curtain out of the way when we didn’t want it hanging over the toy shelves.
