As far as this blog is concerned I have fallen off the grid lately. A few friends and I started up a photography blog in an attempt to have us provide more time for a hobby that we all enjoy. It seems as though nowadays we have a tendency to let things that we want and enjoy doing get pushed to the side for other things. This little blog has given us all a venue to post pictures for each other to see. If you would like to see any of the pictures we have posted feel free to take a gander at: http://leagueof1000words.wordpress.com.
Now that I have let you know where I have been it is time to post here. Recently my wife and I purchased a sewing/embroidery machine. I searched Etsy for some sewing patterns and found some good sewing patterns designed by sewingwithme3. I chose one of her patters to get me started and this weekend I sewed my first project since the seventh grade. Here are some pictures of the final product:
Next time I will use a bobbin thread that is closer to the color of the bag lining, but for my first project I think it turned out pretty well.

This is a super-sweet little clutch Keith!
Love the pleats, and the construction seemed immaculate — nothing short of what I’d expect from a perfectionist like you! Well done!

Why thank ya ma’am. I just wish it didn’t take me the better half of the weekend to complete but I think the next one will go much more quickly now that I’ve followed the pattern once. We’ll see…
