"Sew" dressed up...

I have a new OBSESSION with sewing! I can't believe how wonderful it is and it took me 26 years to figure this out. I have even had a sewing machine for 7+ years and I bought and NEVER used. Where has this skill been all of my life!

I decided I was tired of the forgetting to buy new ties for Gavin since he's out grown his and found THIS tutorial online. It seemed simple enough for an amateur like me (and of course I wouldn't forget to buy fabric...)so I gave it a go, and look what we got!



Don't let that grumpy face fool you, he loved his tie! I can't wait to make them some different ones!

I'm not the most awesome seamstress on the planet, but this looks doable and SO SO SO cute!!!! I'm gonna try it out one of these days!

Hooray! See, it's not that hard. Not to say I'm going to pick up crocheting any time soon. You always said you couldn't sew-and you can. Just think of how many other things you can probably do that you've said you can't! :)

Thanks for sharing the link! I'm going to give it a try! All Dallin's ties are getting to short!
