Okay, I've been resisting posting this, cause, honestly, I'm only half full of pride. On one part of it, I totally made a ton of straight lines with my sewing machine through denim and other leftover pant-scrap-fabric that my seamstress master, Joann, gave to me. Then again, not all my lines were straight. BUT it was my very first time ever even touching a sewing machine, so I'm giving myself a break.

I cut out all the squares. I chalked all the lines. I stitched all the edges. I clipped all the corners. I stitched them all together. I did this twice, so I cut 128 squares. The first try came out a lot, for obvious reasons, worse, than the second try. Each set was 24x24 inches.

Basically, I'm not sure I want to do quilts with my life. But maybe if I buy pre-cut squares it would be better.

Originally my seamstress master wanted to make a tote bag but I was like, "Nah, man, I will never use that, let's make a cover for my machine." I thought this was going to be easy pie, but honestly I had no idea what I was getting into with that top hole for the handle. Sewing holes? That's ridiculous. Don't do it. Just avoid that.

GraniteFire was a sweetie sweet sasquatch during this time and actually stayed on my sofa during the creation of this. That is historical.
