The thickness is far from uniform and frankly, it looks like something a child has done, but I don't care. I made it! Also, I figure it can only get better with time, so around the time I actually have enough money to buy a spinning , I will have mastered the drop spindle.
In addition to learning the drop spindle, I also attempted to sew a little coin purse type thing, complete with a zipper! It started out fairly good:
While the lines were a bit shaky, I have to say I managed to match up the fabric fairly well and mastered the zipper. I was feeling pretty good considering I was doing it without a pattern. So I then sewed up the lining and sewed up the outside before I realized that I had no idea how to completely close it.
Well crap. So much for my grandiose project attempt. Perhaps tomorrow I will bunker down and finish it by hand. Maybe.
