I did it! I actually used my sewing machine!

My son has a huge Spiderman TV pillow. He loves reading on it and watching Wiggles or Thomas the Tank on it. Mommy(me) acidentally ripped it a few months back while we were cleaning, and the tear has slowly progressed over time. My son actually tripped over it, so I decided I couldn't ignore it any longer and decided to try to make a pillowcase cover for it. I had some Finding Nemo fabric that I had bought to do curtains for his nursery (he had an aquarium themed room) but had never got anywhere with it. I bought a new sewing machine a few years back, and couldn't figure out how to thread the thing! Well, several years later, I figured I'd give it another shot. I guess something clicked this time cause not only did I get it threaded, I also figured out how to get the stitch tension working and everything! I'm so proud of myself. I know it was only sewing two and a half straight lines, but BABY STEPS! I think my next project sewing will be sewing simple square blocks for a quilt.
