I fell in love with a fabric on Yummy Fabrics a few months back.
I didn't expect to fall in love. I don't sew. Not even buttons. But I had plans. Big plans. And a sewing machine my mother-in-law bought for me 7 years ago. (I guess she had big plans for me, too.)
So I mail-ordered my fabric bride. The fabric arrived but my knowledge of sewing machines was not in the box. I did discover, however, that although I earned a degree in English and French, I apparently can not comprehend the instruction manual that came with said sewing machine. Not even the visuals. Talking to the sewing machine didn't help either. My French did come in handy during our, um, chat.
Now, it's just me and my fabric. Shakespeare was right: "The course of true love never did run smooth." Well, I guess my English and French came in handy after all.
