Actually, not completely new. Mom taught me to sew when I was just a kid and I did sew a lot as a teenager. But it wasn't my thing, so when I grew up and moved out on my own, I put sewing away and didn't touch it for many years. Yes, I do still have the sewing machine that Dad bought me when I was a teenager but I haven't used it in many years and it needs a bit of TLC to get back to working order.
So, Mom, here is proof that what you taught me stuck. I made this jacked in about two afternoons. I have to admit that I'm impressed myself - never thought I could do it. (Laura did help, but at least 95% of this one is mine.) I also did a lot of sewing on several other jackets and several pairs of pants for the show (The Wiz) at the high school. I've decided sewing can be fun . . . I might just have to start saving for one of them new-fangled electric sewing machines.

P.S. To everyone else, sorry for the quiet on the blog . . . been busy. Still need to post pics from the trip to Idaho and those will come when things settle down here (about another week).
