BBQ asked Santa for a sewing machine. I was so excited at the possibilities and nurtured the whole idea for 3 months. Sure enough Santa Claus brought BBQ a beautiful blue sewing machine that she can use for years to come. So as excited as I am that she has one and is excited about all the possibilities .. I am a little stressed. I have not sewn anything since my Senior year of high school!! Thankfully Hancock Fabric and some tips from Nonnie came to the rescue.
We selected an easy apron as our first project. I have to admit I was sweating it. I took my time cutting it out, determining if we had the right thread, pinning it and making sure we had the time to work on it. With some encouragement from my hubby, we started actually sewing today - a snow day!
I was so proud of BBQ , she listened and following directions so well and beamed at every stitch she did. And her apron turned out great. 
I am so thankful for the memories and so thankful for a hubby who encouraged me that I could lead our daughter in this adventure. So now Sweet girl is wanting to sew -- I promised her we would do pot holders. So stay tuned to our days of learning to sew.
I am thrilled! I loved the idea of the apron when we saw it at Hancock Fabrics. Thankful to the kind lady, Tammy who works there for sharing her idea with us!
