I wish I was better at sewing - I'm really only a beginner! I recently made this half apron from two pillowcases (tutorial here) for my sister:
It's a good thing it's not something you wear outside of the house because the stitching is anything but straight (I even had to glue down a section in the back). Oh and the pocket flaps are frayed because I forgot to fold it under before sewing. Um, and the pockets may be slightly uneven.
So I told my sister not to inspect it too closely... Someday I will master the sewing machine, but until then I'll be a happy paper crafter (and plug away at the sewing machine whenever I find the time!)
I can't be perfect at everything and I need to be okay with that :). That's what's on my heart today!

You did a wonderful job! I wish I could operate a sewing machine.
