The Apple bed

Introducing "The Apple Bed"!
Invented it accidentally. I sat down after my last class to have a little something to eat and sat my apple on my hand warmer. Then it hit me!  If the dog can have a dog bed and the cat can use a cat bed, why not prevent bruising with an "Apple Bed"!  Handmade locally not sure about the apple?

Pick practical practice projects

I highly suggest when practicing you pick practical projects that you will use.
Like warm fuzzy fleece pajama pants. In 7 steps you can make pj's in time for bed.

Promise yourself

As I've said, "it takes courage to sew". 

When you decide to sew, you will inevitably show your work to others. 

If that first response to your finished piece isn't met with a hip hip hurray, promise yourself you'll keep sewing anyway! They haven't realized that you've poured your soul into that piece.

 It will take them time to understand sewing and what it can do.

Wait until you can hem their jeans. 

Then you'll get some worthy praise!
