needle and thread: step one

i once knew how to work the sewing machine 
that now sits in my parents' basement covered in piles of dusty books and old college notebooks.


i want to learn again. 
a new home already awaits it. 
.its very own corner. and table.


but i need to pull it from its dingy quarters @ 22 Lewis. 
then the two of us can get to know each other again. 
i have a lot of re.learning and new.learning to do. 


today i found my first sewing diy project on etsy.
the full.on step by step.s

i should set the goal of august as a due date Deadline.
but that may be a bit too ambitious.
seeing as i,m not sure i can sew a straight line yet. 
here's for hoping.. .
