I am shocked I can even write this post since I wanted to throw my sewing machine against the wall about 100 times today! My friend Alaina sent me a link to make some ear warmers, so I decided to make one before I went to Ohio for Christmas. I hand-sewed it and used my new best friend Mr. Hot glue gun. While i was in Ohio my older brother thought the ear warmers were the ugliest thing in the world and said I could never sale them. CHALLENGE EXPECTED! I told him to send a picture to all his girlfriends and see who would want one. Well, the next day I found out I have to make 7 of them! I was excited because who doesn't love to be right, but the problem I now had was that I needed to learn how to use my sewing machine as soon as possible.
Seriously these ear warmers have been my worst nightmare. After about 6 hours of work I have decided a few things about myself and sewing.
1. Not only can I not walk straight and write straight I can't sew straight either!! I tried and tired all day, but I think I need to just face it that it will never happen!
2. I have the worst posture in the world! My back hurts so bad. Sewing is going to be expensive, because I am going to have to go see a Chiropractor every time I sew!
3. I have to reward myself with Yogli Mogli after I finish. :) Good thing it is less then a mile from my house!
After hours and hours of sewing here is the final product. I made 5 already, but I am sure you don't want to see those. Trust me!
