I learned to sew in the fall of 2009. My mother-in-law taught me a few basic things which opened up a whole new hobby for me. I had never had any interest in sewing, in fact, my grandmother, my mom and my sister all loved sewing and while growing up, even with all the opportunity to learn, I never did! My mother-in-law is also a fantastic seamstress and had sewn many things for us over the years, including, Halloween costumes for my children, pillows, curtains, and bedding for our dog! She bought us a sewing machine a few years ago so that she could sew when she was visiting us, and after a few years of seeing the sewing machine sitting around, I asked her if she could teach me to sew. I will admit that I have become somewhat obsessed with sewing. I have moved my sewing machine from room to room, trying to find the easiest place to work and keep my projects set up and the machine has now ended up in my piano studio! My students have all been interested in what I am sewing, and so, recently, I accidentally began making an apron for every girl student who wanted one in my studio! One of my students was looking through my fabrics, buttons, lace, trim...and came upon a small, unfinished apron. She said she loved it and I said I would finish it for her because I had started it a long time ago and it was too small for all of us in my home. So, that is how the story goes and pictured in this post are a few of the finished aprons!
