I'm pretty rusty, so I'm sure I'll shake my head a few times before I'm done. I'm certain that if you had had the opportunity (& interest) to put in the hours when you were younger, you would have mastered sewing. It's never too late to learn...

My mom was knitting all the time when I grew up, but I wasn't interested in learning. My daughter was teaching me to crochet last winter, lots of practice and I didn't put in the time - now I need some more lessons! I'm working at knitting over this winter - I bought the Knitting for Dummies and if you recall, I plan to knit some Hobbit slippers before spring :)Jane https://www.blogger.com/profile/05368686874403775974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1535516938330383686.post-42244654055833103322012-01-13T13:33:30.604-07:002012-01-13T13:33:30.604-07:00I'm sure Peter Pan will turn out just great an...I'm sure Peter Pan will turn out just great and make a little guy very happy. Good for you for getting back into sewing. You will have a lot of pleasurable hours spent this winter doing this. Time really flies when you are involved with a project and its a benefit to the head, clears out the old cobwebs.<br /><br />I used to sew lots in earlier years but when things went metric and I had started to work outside the home I put my craft on the back burner. Shame on me I know. I have been thinking of trying my hand at it again soon.<br /><br />I do think chocolate and sewing compliment each other, great thought.<br /><br />We will be watching with interest as Peter Pan comes together.Lorenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01140697185798913602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1535516938330383686.post-70125619206057810562012-01-13T09:23:23.370-07:002012-01-13T09:23:23.370-07:00Oh chocolate.

I know that was corny! lol<br />It will be no surprise that I watched my Mom and sister make everything for themselves and ME when I was a kid. I am still pretty sure I'd have no problem 'pulling something together' if I had to. Actually my husband's grandfather was a tailor in his home town here in Nova Scotia. We love working with our hands on projects.<br />Great to meet you and look forward to 'following'.<br />JimJimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11199777195853274898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1535516938330383686.post-60081920769669017962012-01-13T05:15:40.511-07:002012-01-13T05:15:40.511-07:00I think you did a lovely job.

Needlework lessons at school were a trial and the teacher despaired of me. In one lesson I managed to sew through my finger and become attached to the machine and whatever it was I was making.

My mother sews and knits, and one of my regrets is not taking the time when I was young to let her teach me her skills. I was too impatient, and my head was in the clouds. Make sure to post that Peter Pan doll when you're done. I would love to see it.<br /><br />Love that image about chocolate!
