New Stitch

I have mentioned my blanket and have not posted pictures. I will be posting pictures tonight. For now you can view what the blanket is supposed to look like in the end. I have learned a lot about sewing in my mere four days of trying. I have learned how to do a running, chain, stem and french knot stitch. So far it has been okay. I am not much for reading the diagrams, because they confuse me. Thanks to the handy dandy internet and my husband I can look up videos of the stitches. It has been most helpful. I am about to embark on a new step. This blanket has felt pieces that need to be added with a buttonhole stitch. I am very unsure that I will do this right. I guess I want it to come out right the first time instead of me having to redo. The truth is I have not sewed before in my life other some ugly white and pink polka dot shirt I sewed with my sister. The key is I need to be patient, this is another lesson I have learned. I have because I will not accomplish it otherwise. The best sewers in the world are patient and just like anything else practice makes perfect. The worst thing that could happen is it doesn't come out right and I can always buy a blanket. I already know of one mistake that needs to be fixed and plan on fixing it at a later time. For now I am going to try hard to start this new stitch tonight. I would have started last night but lacked the confidence. I will try again tonight. Lookout buttonhole stitch I am ready to master you. As I was putting my sewing up in frustration and lack of confidence I noticed the blanket I was wrapped around had stitching around it. As I glanced down I realized it was a buttonhole stitch. Amazing thing that God is telling me, "See it is not so hard. Just have patience my child." I have a plan for my blanket in the end. I am going to have the coolest wrapped present for the shower. Just watch out other ladies. Hailey will love my wrapping!
