#1 Sew Something

*This post is a bit late (as I completed the task on June 13th) but because what I was making was a surprise for a friend I couldn't blog about it until she got the present!*

I wouldn't consider myself a crafty person.  I just don't have that gene.  But I am always coming up with ideas, especially for awesome Halloween costumes, that I want to make.  The job always falls to my mama to make what I have envisioned.  So when doing a 30 list what better item to put on then sew something (notice that it was the first idea that I came up with)!

My friend Ashley (who is pretty amazing with a sewing machine) gave me the perfect opportunity to complete #1.  We were leaving for the UK in a couple of weeks and we had planned to spend the first week with our friend Maggie.  We wanted to bring her little gifts to thank her for letting us take over her house!  Ashley found this pattern for a super cute apron.  Since we are all BIG Dr. Who fans we decided to change it a bit and morph it into a Tardis!

Ashley walked me through the basics of the sewing machine and then put me to work.  I was a bit nervous that I would ruin it and we would have to start all over, but Ashley is a good teacher and was very patient with me and it started to look like a Tardis apron!  I let Ashley do the more complicated parts but I am very proud at how it turned out!
