A Pox Upon You Sewing Machine

Or in otherwords entitled Disaster of the Day or I Suck at Sewing! I found a way cute "32 Minute Messenger Bag" tutorial on some blog and after 2 and 1/2 hours I decided that I was not meant to sew. I told Cayden I would make him a "manbag" since he so intent on using my extra purses and bags. I just can't read a tutorial even though it had pictures and really simple instructions. Sherri McConnell I am not ! About 2 hours into the fiasco I went out to the front room and Cayden asked if his bag was done. I told him that mommy just could not do it and that I was sorry. He was so sweet. He just said "It's ok mommy." Well that is when I pulled myself up by my bootstraps-ok flipflops because it is 115 outside and I just added a strap to the first pocket I had. It was more of a crap bag than a man bag but he was thrilled anyway even though I TOTALLY SUCK!! I really have all these grand ideas-I would really like to make a quilt for our bed but if I can't master a simple bag then I probably would end up stabbing myself to death with the seamripper trying to make an actual quilt. My office is a disaster with fabric everywhere and the ironing board and everything else but Cayden was quite pleased with his new bag and now I will go have a piece of chocolate cake and may just even put ice cream on it just to make myself feel better.


Oh I just thought of another lovely title for this post
I am SEW incredibly inept!
