I went to a "sewing machine basics" class at the local tool library and the class project was a tote bag. So now I have a cool purple and green tote bag, which is very exciting. :)
I'm making an "Albert" (apron) from freesewing.org as my first "real" project. Because I am a fool (affectionate) I got some duck canvas for it (it's going to be a woodshop apron), so I've been experiencing how that affects my machine's ability to deal with existence lol. I have it hemmed and the straps sewn on and now I need to figure out the pockets. The pattern has one patch pocket on the apron bib but I do want to put a few more lower down. I have enough material but I want a contrasting color so I'll pop back over to the store in the next day or so and get something.
