{Home Ec :: project 1}

*update: every Thursday we’ll have a link-up party so you’ll have some time to finish your projects and write a post. Please come back & link what you have, but next Thursday we’ll link-up & share again! :]

Home Ec has started and it’s SO FUN! I love that I’m working on new projects, things that aren’t my “normal” daily sewing projects.

The first project was to make 2 cloth napkins: one with a simple zig-zag hem, the other with decorative ric-rac. And guess what? I love using ric-rac! It’s so fun and hello! sassy.

Today is already project #3 of Home Ec, but I’m still working on project #2. Remember the point of Home Ec is to learn + have fun.

If you’re a part of Home Ec, please link-up to your project posts below. This is a great way to encourage each other and be excited over sewing :] And then we can all drool over the pretty fabrics and thread and decorative add-ons :]

Here’s my completed project #1:

If you link up, please visit other people’s links, too. ♥

      I haven’t started any of the projects either. I’m thinking either tonight, or for sure this weekend.
