$37.00 for a pair of scissors

I would like to preface this post by apologizing up front for the horrid pictures that will be in this post.
I really need to invest in a camera other than my phone.
But who knows when I will get around to that.

Last night was my second night of sewing class.
I spent a considerable amount on supplies.
$37.00 on a pair of scissors.
They are super hard core.
They have a lifetime warranty
So someone in my future will be inheriting them.
(my hardcore scissors above!)

I am making a little girls jumper.
The Lucy Jumper to be exact.
Patterns are a bitch.

I spent 3 hours on cutting the pattern.
pinning the pattern to my fabric
cutting the fabric
and then pinning the fabric together.
All for a size 2 jumper
I cant imagine working on normal size clothing.

But it was really fun.
I am definitely the youngest person in the class.
Not that it is full of older folks.
Just young married women either expecting their first baby or they already have babies.

I cant wait to actually start sewing next week.
I am looking forward to making some pillows and curtains for big D!

Ooooh girl, how fun! This Christmas I made 20 aprons and it took me forever! The sewing is fun, but cutting takes a lifetime! I never understood or appreciated the talent it takes until this past year. Enjoy your class, I'm so excited for you!
