The witch and stitch!

I am no seamstress.
Seriously.
I pretty much have the same basic sewing skill as any average joe.
And I don't know why I like it!
I don't really.
While sewing I get so frustrated.
But when I am done I get the accomplished feeling.
And that makes up for the crap.

I do have to say, I've come a long way.
I used to swear up a storm while sewing away.
Now I can usually keep calm.

But today I was stupid.
My friend is having a baby.
I promised her a stroller and car seat combo.
(by the way it's car-seat not carseat, I learned)
I decided to buy a used set and just recover the seat.

Started off innocent enough.
And so far so good.
I started getting to the harder parts.
The bias tape (burned my dang arm while making)
The canopy. Also known as the devil.

I guess we will see how this goes.
Wish me luck!!

I tried to warn everyone! Those things are the devil! That's why when anyone asks me to make them one, I tell them to give me about a month to get it done, because I tend to get so mad at it that I throw it and don't want to look at it for a week. Hope your's is better. Lol
