You May Not Know: I Can Sew!

Something about me that you may not know is that I love arts and crafts.  I've tried my hand at knitting, sewing, and cross stitching, among other things.  I'm also pretty handy with a hot glue gun.  I find it very fulfilling to use my hands and mind to create something.  I seem to always have several projects going at once, including a bright pink scarf I am currently knitting.

Yesterday and today I spent the better part of my day working on a project to sew a cowl capelet.  (It would have taken less time than that if my sewing machine hadn't died halfway through!)  I love the way this turned out, except I wish I had made it a size larger so I would have had more to snuggle up in!  I might just make another one; it was so inexpensive!  I bought my fleece on sale at Hobby Lobby for around $7.50 total.  The little  leopard print/brown flower was also purchased at Hobby Lobby in the hat section for $3.99.  It can be used as a pin or a hair clip!  I just pinned it on here for some more pizzazz.

If you like to sew, you should really check out Angel's site at http://www.fleecefun.com.  She has lots of awesome, easy to follow, free patterns that are beautiful.  This pattern even has a YouTube tutorial that goes with it!  It's really easy to follow so if you are a beginning sewer, this might be a great project for you.  To check out Angel's YouTube site, go to www.youtube.com/user/fleecefun.
