grandma's sewing machine.

after sitting alone in my grandpa's basement for years after my grandma's death, her sewing machine has finally found a new home, my home! i couldn't be happier or more honored to inherit such a special piece of my grandma. she loved sewing, and i'm hoping to pick up where she left off.

ok, so not right where she left off because i'm quite rusty...if you can even call it that.

i'm so excited to get started, though i'm thinking it may be a while because of how busy i am with student teaching. (i'm currently working on a lesson plan about minnesota's native/european fur trade of the 1700s and 1800s. not that any of you care) i can' wait to start sewing skirts and napkins and curtains! i've been "pinning" away on pinterest, looking specifically for beginner sewing projects.

did i mention the machine is a perfect retro, light-blue shade?
well she is.
wish me luck!

xox, eden
