OMG! I too hate sewing machines and much prefer hand sewing. I've gotten rid of more sewing machines in my life because I hated the way they sewed! Or the controls weren't intuitive for me. My mom was a seamstress as well. :-)
And there's some extra stitching (basting stitching) showing but I know she won't notice or care.

We will both sleep well tonight! Adding to that too!

No way! I thought it was the other way around for some reason. Must be misremembering. Very cool! I hope you and both slept well. :)

made it till about 4:30 and my son woke up cause of some thunder T.T he went right back to sleep but then I couldn't sleep smh

Noooo :(

what can ya do, how did you sleep?

I hear you. I slept ok finally. Night before last was not good, though. Pain insomnia. :( Thank goodness I managed to crash last night!

That is good news, hopefully it helps your day :D

It already has :D How is your day going?

Not to bad having a couple friends over tonight for green shots and cornbeef :D

Sounds like fun!

Yep! I much prefer hand stitching! That's partly why I'm so interested in sashiko and boro stitching. Making my daughter's purse was mostly just cause she wanted it so bad.

Here's a few different examples of some.

Arrrgghhhh! You can't win!!

At least he went right back to sleep I guess xD

Those are gorgeous bags! Wow! What skill. :) And you're a good mama!

Well that's a good thing I suppose. I wish you could of too!

I hope you don't think I made those, They're just examples of the type of hand stitching I hope to do. :-P My daughter is a really sweet happy person so makes it easy to want to please her. :-)

Oh I didn't figure, lol. You would have claimed that in a minute, I'd hope, if you did do them! That's good!

ROTFL!! Damn right I would of!!! :-) I'm still trying to think it through hoping for some spare time.

Good woman. lol Good luck!

LOL!! <3

Hey, I'm honest. :)

No storm tonight so fingers crossed
