guess what i did the other day: i bought my first sewing machine.
my grandmother was a seamstress and pretty good at knitting aswell. as far as i can recall her hands were always busy and never stood still. she knitted pullovers and socks for my mum and my sister and me and also made her own dresses until her hands got too shaky. when i was younger she tried to teach me how to sew but i was impatient and messed up big time and immediatly lost interest. today i wish i would have kept trying. well, so i simply have got to learn now. i already made some tote bags, a gym bag and some cushions for a friend. i hope that by the end of next year there will be hanging some homemade dresses in my wardrobe... it's such a great feeling to hold something in your hands, that you made on your own.
