My sewing machine from DI continues to be the best $25 I've ever spent. Yesterday, I put on my work out pants. I have no idea why I call them work out pants because we all know that me and "work out" are not on a first name basis. Anyway, I put them on and they are floods. They were about an inch too short to be long pants. I look ridiculous in them...curse my 34 inch inseam. I decided to try and alter them. I am usually pretty ambitious about my sewing skills but I actually managed to make some really cute capri style work out pants and both legs are the same length even! I even accomplished this with Luke sitting on my lap. I was so proud.
When Luke saw me put on my stretchy pants he wanted to put on his sweats that have had a little whole along the seam of one leg for a long time. So I sewed that as well. Then I remembered that the little pocket in my handbag has a hole in it too and all my lip glosses were getting stuck in between the lining and the purse so....you guessed it....I sewed that up too. I feel so very useful and so happy that I spent $25, at the DI, on a used sewing machine. Yea!
The best part for Luke is that he can wear the part I cut off my pants as a ninja headband....I think it is a very fetching look.

I wish we had a DI here. I have been feeling the sewing bug lately but have no machine. I keep thinking of all these things I could make if only I had one... I already bought my Christmas present. I guess it will have to wait.
Um, you totally rock! Go ninja! Sorry we were so absolutely crazy the other night when you stopped by...we are so excited about the package you dropped off!!!! Thanks again!
I have some sewing I am dropping off next time I come and visit.

Nice work. That is the best $25 you've ever spent. Jealous.
