Eek, it's been a while...

So it has pretty much been well over a year since I have sewed anything. I guess life happens sometimes...

I just began a little volunteer gig teaching sewing to kids, so I guess that rekindled my flame for sewing. I also discovered a new (to me) fabric shop called Sew Memphis. The two women who own it are charming and the whole shop is beautifully decorated. Nothing like an well styled shop to show off some beautiful fabric.  I bought a few fat quarters and random yardage. 

I had promised the boyfriend that I would make him a computer sleeve a few months ago, so that seemed like the perfect first project back.

I realized my style really didn't change after this sewing hiatus...still love the simple modern fabrics, paired with some sort of natural cotton or linen.
