To Sew or Not To Sew?

Some might be shocked, but I actually don't know how to sew! What?! Yes, that's right folks, this former Girl Scout & crafter of all things doesn't know how to sew! Jay-man's costume wasn't made using a sewing machine....it was made using Hot Glue (one of my favorite products)!

The whole costume in it's entirety! Even the crown was made by hot gluing 2 pieces of felt together!

It's hard to see, but his Aunt made him the other crown--to completely match his costume! Thank you Aunt Jena!

As you can see, I'm pretty proud of my work with the hot glue gun! Let's not forget these adorable little bow ties!

All made with hot glue! 

I did "learn how to sew" when I was a Girl Scout, but I never pursued it anymore because I absolutely had no interest. So now I am kicking myself for not asking my mom to teach me and not even taking a home-EC course in high school! Because I see all of these cute things on Pinterest that I WANT TO MAKE! (Examples: Dino Tails or Plush Alphabet or even something for myself A pretty Skirt!)

So this morning, since I couldn't sleep I got out of bed, came into the "new office"--well someday soon...hopefully (lol). I enjoyed some quiet time with Jesus & then I got on YouTube and watched my very first sewing video! I can't wait to get started!!!! I just have to buy some things first, but fabric is NOT one of them because I have been stocking up for quite some time on that! :)

I will update y'all later on how I did! Oh and did I mention that I will also be teaching myself how to sew by hand? Because I received this pretty dress & it has a rip in it. And I can't bear to let it go just because of that tiny little tear! I want to be able to wear it this summer while we are on vacay!

I hope y'all have a blessed Thursday!



But if we are living in the light as God is in the light, then we have fellowship with each other, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, cleanses us from all sin.
