Trying to be that “mom” that can sew!

What is a new hobby you want to learn??

I wanted to touch up on my sewing skills! I have not sewed since high school home-economics class (about 25 yrs ago)! So I went on Marketplace bought a sewing machine(for $30, great deal)and decided to try. I looked on Pinterest for ideas, and saw Easter carrots. Went to my stash of fabric and 2 1/2 hours later and many many attempts. I made what looks like a carrot!! #sewingforbeginners #newhobby #momlife #easterdecor
