Leigh gave me a sewing machine for Christmas, and I've already put it to great use. My first project, a beret, has been my pride and joy for the moment. Completing it today makes me feel as though I've actually done something productive and not given up (although at some point I did get a bit irritable when trying to sew in a straight line!) It's not a perfect piece, but it is wearable, and I'm so happy that I can make something useful by actually sewing! I have one more beret to sew and then hopefully I'll be moving on to making curtains.
