After trying and failing at threading the sewing machine which belongs to my MIL (who is currenlty in California, therefore little help with the whole threading thing) I finally begged Josh to pick up the instruction manuel. He did and I have had success!
Since I will be teaching this to students in approximately 5 weeks, I figured I needed to figure the whole sewing thing out. It has been quite a while and I have never been much of an expert.
Once I got started I thought, "I should blog my experience, because that's what I do."
Look, here is the machine, threaded properly with my material waiting to be sewed. I will be making two baby blankets. One which is humongous, perfect for the modest breast feeder and a smaller one, which was made from my left over material.
Here I show you my fabulous stitching.
This one shows you how focused I am. I am really getting after it.
Final product:
I am impressed with myself because I actually did it. They are not perfect, but will help keep somebodies baby warm this winter. And I gave myself the confidence that I can in fact to the job I have been hired to do: High School Family and Consumer Science teacher.

Instructions do make all the difference!!!
The blankets MIGHT make a wonderful first project for your beginning sewing class. And they are only one or two steps away from a pillow.
Your mom always thougtht you could do it.
