we all know i don't have sewing skills.
my grandma was a master seamstress and many women of my family sew.
but not me. part of it is i wasn't really taught.
and the few experiences were frustrating for both me and the teacher.
a big part of it is i just never enjoyed it.
so i just didn't try to learn again.
i'm starting to get to the point where i want to learn some of these skills just for the sake of being able to do it. even if i hate it.
so i took advantage of the opportunity to participate in our relief society apron making activity.
i struggle but i can make it through when i have someone giving me one-on-one help.
part of the purpose for this rs activity was to enter the aprons into a provident living fair our ward put together.
the fair also involved milking a goat, making fresh butter, demos on self-made home products, gardening, and baking contests.
i tied for 2nd place!
(yes that's a hand-done bird on the middle pocket.
i can't help myself these days.)
i still don't love sewing, but i'm thinking about taking some sewing classes in the future.
just to be self-sufficient.
for those of you who don't sew, what other crafty things do you enjoy?
