In my last post I mentioned that I had spent the afternoon sewing. My sewing skills are pretty minimal. I can make drawstring bags (like this one), or paper-piecing quilts (I’ve made four of these), and I can finish bellpulls. They just are a little, you know, cockeyed.

August TUSAL, Santa and Something New
Late again with my Totally Useless Stitch Along post. No surprise, I guess.
