Sewing lessons with Mum

Some time ago I said to my husband, I think I should get a sewing machine. They sell fairly cheaply at Costco. And he said, Oh. And then that evening he brought one up to the house. He said, Here you go. Brand new. Client didn't use or want it. Such is the way we do things here.

So it sat unopened for a few months. And I thought, I'll wait till Mum and Dad come and then we'll whip it out. And we actually did. I found cute baby doll patterns online to practice on. Here is my first attempt. Sewn completely on my own with Mum's steady guidance behind me. I'm a little ashamed to be so old and just learning to sew... But so be it.
