Project

I took my second sewing class last Saturday. My mother is an amazing seamstress, but I was never really interested in learning from her when I was younger. I guess that's how I ended up at 40 having never touched a needle. And I think at this point it's safe to say I am not a prodigy.

The idea was - actually there were a few ideas:

• to make cute pouches because I use them all the time to store little things and I've bought a ton of them
• to find something new that I have fun doing, to learn something new
  
• to make a few to sell on Etsy if I have fun making them and am not terrible at it
• to do something I'm not very good at to get me out of my comfort zone
  

Everything is going fine except that last thing. That last one is going great. I am *so* not good at this. But I am having fun, and it's nice to be trying something new. Plus, and I keep saying this, I'm already turning into my mother - why not just speed up the process?

I'm going to "free sew" this Friday night (does that sound like a rockin' time or what? I hope there's wine involved) and if I get a few decent zipper pouches made, I do think I'll try my hand at an Etsy shop. So now I just need a name. Any thoughts? Sizzle and I were thinking about Onshore Creations. Maybe something having to do with sewing, or any of my other "hobbies" like surfing, travel, something Japanese, or maybe something about Oregon. Ready? Suggest.
