Fearful But Finished!

Let me first say that I DO NOT SEW! So, this is a first for me. I was pretty nervous about it, and I am sure all of the flaws will be visible to the expert seamstress's eye (like everywhere I had to use the seam ripper - yikes). However, I think the fabric is cute and I think it turned out OK for the first time (and with no help). I hope it will be good enough for my partner.

My partner said she likes black, white and red together. I decided to go ahead with classic black and white. The jewelry is a cameo necklace with a hand beaded red bracelet as an accent color.



Here is my package - ready for shipping. It will go out first thing Monday! :)
