So, I do this thing, where I have an idea for a sewing project, and I ask my mum if I can come home and "use her sewing machine," when I really mean "can I come home and have you figure out how to execute this idea I have and then have you sew it for me?". But she's amazing, and lets me come even though she knows that's what I mean.
Today, she/I made fingerless-glove-arm-warmer-things out of some knee-high socks I bought. I like them. They keep my arms toasty, and they're spiffy.
I really think I should learn to sew, though. Especially if I keep having these ideas...

I have a sewing project like yours in the works. I started it and Mom is finishing it for me as it will never get done while chasing two little boys.
