So for my birthday my mum got me a fancy sewing machine and until now I hadn't done anything terribly exiting with it, unless you count figuring out how to thread bobbins exciting. When we were at Zion there was a a quilt patch with some directions for a tote bag and so my mum and I choose some fabric and last night I made my first sewn item (since that quilt I made when I was like 8). I am excited about this tote bag for several reasons:
1) it is actually functional as a bag
2) nothing went terribly wrong
3) my stitches are relatively straight
4) as far as first projects go, this was pretty quick and painless
5) the fabric we chose reminds me of the petroglyphs and the ponderosa pines from our trip!
6) Look how much yarn it holds!!!!
