MOM: SURPRISE!

You're iPad case is waiting for you when you get home.

I've become quite the sewing machine (hah, no pun intended) in my 'in-between-jobs-then-houses-so-i'm-squatting-with-mom-and-dad' days. It's quite neat actually.


My siblings and I all have a quilt that my mom handmade for each of us as babies. Who knows with four kids when she had the time to do this (and be done by the time each of us turned one years old), but she's super mom so I don't ask questions. 


A few months ago when the mom and I were talking about our baby quilts and brainstorming about possible quilts for my niece and nephew, I realized that this is something, a tradition I guess, that I one day want to pass on to my kids, but with absolutely no idea how to use a sewing machine I don't think I'd get too far or my kids would be graduating college by the time I finish hand-sewing the whole thing.


So the mom sat down with me to teach me the lay of the land, everything she knew, and we started my first 'practice' quilt. And so began my love for the sewing machine. It's super easy to use and being able to make your own things rather than buy saves so much money! I've cranked out a couple iPad cases and an iPod pocket (all made from discounted scrap pieces at the fabric store).

Want one? Email me, kara.denholm(at)gmail(dot)com. I'm taking orders! Any excuse to keep sewing :) I can't guarantee that it'll be the exact fabric you want because I get to pick it, but I can guarantee that it'll be cute...(and free!)
