Finally turned on the sewing machine....

This past Thursday was my last day at work....Now I'm off at least the rest of this month, or longer, depending on how long it takes me to find a new job...I finally turned on my sewing machine this afternoon and made a curtain panel for my dining room. My oldest niece took a business trip to Kenya and I had her buy me some fabric. She got me some beautiful panel pieces and I used one of them for my curtains. I think the others may get made into simple skirts - sew up the side seam and add some elastic. The skirts would be too long so I think I can use the extra fabric to make a wrap tie for the waist so they look kinda like sarongs, but way less chance of a wardrobe malfunction... I have alot more items to sew in the queue, so hopefully I will have pics to show of wearable items soon.....
