Despite having fallen obsessively in love with making things (cue many late nights and NEVER enough time or energy to complete things as quickly as my patience would like), the sewing machine that I inherited from Gail has sat in its box taunting me. "Go on, take me out and have a go....I dare you. I double dare you!...."
So out it came. And surprise surprise, I actually enjoyed it! I dug out some of Nick's old Jeans and an old shirt of mine and whipped up this Ipod cover for Nick for his birthday (Well, 'whipped up' might be overstating a little....I was up 'til God knows what hour this morning hand sewing the finishing bits).
Despite my pleasure at having been able to make it, I was worried that Nick, who is rather choosy when it comes to design, would find it naff. But you know what? He actually showed it off to his mates at the pub when they went for birthday drinks. What's more, he reckons that with a little refinement, I could actually sell them..... I was well pleased :-) Though I won't be selling any anytime soon!
