Sewing Bliss

Several months ago, I was very pleased to receive my mom's old sewing machine.  I wanted one and she never used hers, so now it's mine! 

The only problem was, I really did not know how to use it.  Although I had dabbled in sewing projects in the past, threading my machine remained a mystery.  Luckily, I stumbled upon a class taught by a local artist, The Chronic Seamstress.  Over a two-hour class, I learned how to use my machine and created this great reversible tote bag!

I'm still working on perfecting my skills, but I'm pretty stoked about the whole thing.
