Suzy Homemaker

I felt so proud of myself learning how to use the sewing machine again.  I haven't sewed with a machine since Grade 7 home ec.  

This is my old sled before (old pink cover):


Here it is after with completely new foam and blue fabric:

(I'm happy with the way it turned out, except for the extremely painful finger injury I sustained using my rotary fabric cutting tool.  I thought I needed to get stitches for a few minutes until I calmed down and got the bleeding to stop and patched it up with a steri-strip.) 

We gave it a slide on the street:

And then again on a blizzard day when the stroller was impossible.  I loaded it up in the car and sledded Henry up to Rose's school.  Paige pulled him on the way back.
