  1. Wow, #41 seems like it should count for more than one!! But maybe that's just because I don't sew garments... yet.

  2. I think this is an awesome list. The sewing part is ambitious. Feathers are fun! I made a bookmark with a feather applique for teacher appreciation. It was super cute. Good luck!
