As a "welcome to the desert!" gift, Mr. Yin bought me a sewing machine to keep me company when he was working away at the library day after day after day. Please meet Sewing Pretty With Hello Kitty:
Despite looking like a toy, she's actually quite a workhorse with a zippy motor. Just like the big cats. And perfectly portable.For our first lesson I wanted to make produce bags. You know, so I don't have to get plastic bags ever time I buy veggies. Luckily my friend Ellen posted a link to the perfect tutorial just that morning!
Armed with the tutorial, Sewing Pretty With Hello Kitty, a pair of scissors, some muslin and some orange thread I headed out to the east valley. I am happy to report Mrs. Webb is an able teacher and as proof I share a detail shot (I still need to add the drawstrings) of my bags:
(And a photo of the very quick sidekick.)

I've used one of those cute machines and I want one! They are better than the cheap-O Singer that I bought as my back-up. You sew now; what are you going to do next?
Sewing pretty with Hello Kitty.
It kills me.
Ada and Alice would die. (For some unknown reason, they love Hello Kitty.)
I miss you.
Tosher can sew! Yay! We can all watch Steffy sew her own wedding dress and we can all now appreciate how good she is.
Remember when you made a patchwork quilt and I taught you the most important skill in sewing?
Pucker. It cures many sewing ills.
