Curves

I'm really happy that the bathroom reno is winding down because I have a new project that starts next week! When I saw in December that Stitched in Color was going to offer a class on sewing curves in the new year, I couldn't wait to sign up. I've never sewn curves, her tutorials are great and her projects are always cute so I figured it would be a great class to try out. After a month of almost no sewing, I'm even more excited to get started!

The class is going to run for about a month and each week will have several projects to choose from with varying levels of difficulty.


This project looks like a lot of fun and I've been wanting a runner for my bedroom dresser. I've made two so far but I'm not happy with either one. Maybe this project will finally help me find what I'm looking for! All of the projects I've seen so far look tempting and I know it's going to be hard to decide what to make because there are only so many hours in the week.

I can't believe that it's been almost two years since I took my first quilting class. I haven't made nearly as many quilts as I would have liked, but, again, there are so many hours in the day. I have lots of ideas but not enough time to make them all.

Hopefully sewing curves won't be too difficult. I can't imagine they're easy, but lots of people can do it so why can't I, right? I like to challenge myself to try something new each year and this definitely fits the bill.

I can't wait to show off my projects!

yay! I am excited to keep up w/your blog to see all the fun projects you make! I am in the curves class, too. My goal is to sew at least 1 of the projects each week - b/c as you said, there are only so many hours in the week. Should be fun, right! I will add your blog to my reader so I can see how your projects are coming along.
