See My Vest (And Pants)

It's official. I'm in love with my sewing machine.

I've spent many an hour this week with my pedal underfoot and the fabric whipping through my fingers. It's been such a rewarding experience.

These three items were all made with my best friend's son in mind, but soon I promise to share some of Gretchen new pieces.

...

PS. If any of you are sewers at heart, I'd love your advice, links to fun patterns or any DIYs you may have blogged about in the past! Merci!
