Sew much fun?

I have to admit, I'm jealous of people who can sew. I mean, it seems like such a simple task that almost always creates something spectacular.

Combine that jealousy with the fact that I cannot find a single pair of curtains that I like for my living room, and this goal of learning to sew was born. My list for this goal is small:

1. Sew lined curtains for our living room.
2. Sew complimentary throw pillow covers for our living room.
3. Attempt an apron for myself.
4. Attempt a basic tote bag.

I'll update once I've ordered my fabric. I've been scouring the internet for the perfect choices, and found one that I love for our curtains. Now I just have to find a couple options for throw pillows and I'll be set!
