Sewing

When I was in the 8th grade, I learned how to sew on my mom's sewing machine.  I managed to jam it and break the needle, not once, but twice.. and my mom had to replace them both.  I had been hand sewing for a long time prior to that, and after that fiasco, I never really wanted to try machine sewing again.  But I've been seeing so many cute things lately that don't look very hard to sew, but would be so much quicker/easier by machine!  Once I've finished moving, I'm not sure I'll be able to get a sewing machine or anything... but I sure am tempted!  Take a look at these cute projects:
