A new day, a new blog

Ok here goes, *jump* that's it, I'm on the blogging bandwagon!  Did anyone else find it quite hard to pick a blog title?  Everything I was trying had already been taken by all the other people out in blogland - finally though those little green words 'title available' appeared and so here I am Sew Soon.  I guess it's an appropriate name really as I always finding new projects that of course I'll sew soon.  


So I thought I would begin by explaining my sewing set up and my current project.  I suspect there are a lot of sewers out there like myself whose sewing home is actually the dining table.  Unfortunately this means that when I want to sew I have to factor in set up and clear down time so sewing time is reduced :( - one day I would love to have a sewing room.  I often to say to my husband when (it will happen one day I'm sure) we buy a new house we need it to have a study - half  a sewing room for me and half a music room for him.  Can but dream right?


My current project is a gardening apron for my mother-in-law.  It is her 60th birthday in February and we are in charge of a gardening hamper we've got her a large outdoor planter, some seed kits and some gardening vouchers but, I wanted to make something for my little man to give to his Grandma.  I'll post some pictures of the fabric I'm using when I get a chance but it's nappy change time here so I best be off!  A mummy's job is never done :)
