By now you probably know that I enjoy sewing, mainly clothing items for my kids. Generally I choose projects with a high margin of error, so I don’t have to spend all my time on meticulous measurements and making sure each and every stitch is perfect. Which is why, when people have suggested I start selling, I can’t help but scoff a little. I mean, I am certainly flattered and thrilled people like the end product that much, but my sewing skills leave a lot to be desired. Trust me.
In addition to sewing clothes, I’ve done a few quilts…okay *quilts* – rag quilts to be exact. They are fairly simple and have a decently high margin of error. But I really want to try a REAL quilt. My cousin, Cherisa just opened an Etsy shop ~ The Blanket Thief ~ selling her quilts, and her talent is inspiring. I already have the fabric and pattern I want, but here are some other Pinterest quilts that I LOVE!
