November 3

I forced myself to spend the morning and half the afternoon studying before commencing today's sewing project. Whew, it was tough to stay focused that long, when I kept walking past the sewing machine set up on the dining room table. When I finally closed up my books, I leapt upon this tutorial and made myself a great doorstop. One thing I'm really enjoying about these Sew Mama Sew projects is that I'm not buying any materials; it's all coming from my stash. Though this one used up every last dried bean in my pantry, so if I want to make (or eat!) more I'll have to go to the store.
