Fall Into a New Skill

Don't say it... summer can't be over yet!
This week marks the last days of summer and onward to another fall season. This is the first fall season that I won't be heading back to school. Autumn always felt more like the New Year to me. It was a time to start from scratch and put a smarter wiser foot forward. Not going back to class has kind of thrown off my yearly schedule and left me with an itch to work and progress towards something new.
Which is why I'm taking up sewing! I have an old sewing machine that used to belong to my grandmother, and (jackpot) a mannequin I found discarded years ago in the hallway of my old internship (I had a feeling it would come in handy some day). I'm going to start easy maybe some throw pillows and drapes and hopefully morf my skills into an expertly crafted trench (one can only hope). I've been carrying all my fabric and supplies around in my spacious Dial Vertical Tote, which has been a lifesaver!
I'll keep you posted on my progress, and yes you can put your throw pillow order in now because I'm booked solid ;).
