Not "Sew" Much!

Yikes! That machine strikes fear in me.
I have such a desire to do crafty things around my house, but if they involve sewing, I'd rather run ten miles.

The one opportunity I had to fully use a sewing machine was in 8th grade Home Economics class. What started out as a skirt had to be turned into a pillow and my mother finished it for me. Yes, I cheated.

My daughter on the other hand, has created items for her wardrobe and altered clothing from thrift stores with great ease. Yes, she actually is good enough to wear her creations in public.

I had a chance to work with her on a Pinterest project of DIY roman shades this weekend, if I am allowed to use the word "with" very loosely.  I picked out the fabric, paid for the needed items and that is where my part ends. I was hoping I could learn this craft at this stage in life, but, I just cannot stand the sewing machine.

Hopefully, my daughter will keep up the willingness to assist me.

She did a great job.
