Sew you keep saying

I've got my days all mixed up! Didn't realize I didn't post a song for February 5th, so there's two at the bottom.

As mentioned, I've decided to learn to sew, on a machine. I know the basics, but I'd like to know how to do simple projects or clothes. My mother can sew, and I remember her having a sewing table when I was little. She made great costumes and Barbie clothes when money was short*. And I know there was a pin cushion kicking around in her home after the divorce, because my brother kicked it around and we were picking pins out of the carpet for months. But as of grade 4 on we lived with my dad and step-mother and her hobby was flying planes,** so the sewing machine wasn't a part of our day to day.

This might end in something that pintester or craftfail would be proud of (that is to say, crap) but nothing v. nothing g.

** One year at church they had a mother-daughter day where you were invited to bring in something you did together as mother and daughter. We bought a toy car that looked exactly like my car, painted it the same colors as we had hand-painted my car, and brought that in. Step-mommy says we also put a big bow on my car and pointed out the window when people didn't understand.
