Give Peace a Chance

So, this is the picture of the first thing I've ever made using a sewing machine. (Hint, it isn't the baby.) I made Miss Em this peace sign T-shirt Tuesday night. I decided it was time to use my 2004 Christmas present from Jeannine... guess she knew I would get around to it at some point.

It's taken so long because my thoughts & ideas are like a college dorm room closet... a bunch of stuff crammed into a small space, some very nice stuff, some random junk, and, perhaps a few skeletons, by some standards -everyone has a past, you know!

I suppose it could be said that I start a lot of projects and finish few. They used to joke my mother (Rebecca) that I was the only thing she ever "finished." I guess it runs in my blood.

Getting back to the point, I tie-dyed this T-shirt in a circular pattern (in February), and then I sewed on a peace symbol using 3 different fabrics. Lastly, I trimmed the bottom in a grosgrain polka dot ribbon. 7 months in the making, now, it looks cute, but my sewing is not so good... I will have to work on that. Rome was not built in day.

Have a great Thursday!
