I’ve been doing a bit of shopping lately – mostly to update my warddrobe. Which to be honest needs a lot of updating. The last couple of years I’ve gotten stuck wearing pretty much the same thing. Different variations of the same black outfitt … yes, it gets kind of redundant after a while.

So of course with looking at all these different clothes I started thinking about my long lost goal of actually making my own clothes. So yesterday, I pulled out my sewing machine, figured out how to use it and then started reading this book on sewing I bought a while back. While reading, I realized that there are a lot more tools I need and a lot more I have to learn before I can seriously consider making a decent garment. So – that’s where I’m at now. That and learning to sew a straight line.
