Sewing 101

So tonight I had this great idea that I could just sew myself a duvet cover for our new appartment. I wanted it to be bright and fun and I couldn't find anything that fit my idea of bright and fun. So...I went to Target and bought a top sheet and a shower curtain and decided to sew them together. I got home and dusted off my mom's 5,000 pound 5,000 year old sewing maching(no exaggeration)and was looking forward to getting to work. I told Molly to clear off the kitchen table so I could get to work. She looked at me and said:
Why? You won't be able to figure out how to do it and you'll get irritated and then leave it here for a week and all the while I could have been doing my homework.
Rude girl. She cleared off the table and I tried to get the sewing maching ready. I have NO idea how to work a sewing machine. I got irritated. BUT instead of giving up I decided it wouldn't be too hard to do by hand...four hours later I am finished. In the end I think it's totally cute(maybe too small for the bed...) and well worth the work.
