After Hubs joined up, I found myself yearning for all things ACU. I just had to surround myself with the beautiful subdued digital camo that my soldier was wearing. I became a self proclaimed ACU addict! I nearly fainted from all the excitement when I found out that Scentsy put out an ACU Army burner! Well, nothing has changed. I find myself browsing online for hours to find any random household item that I need that comes in this pattern.
After feeling deflated a bit when I couldn't find an ACU Christmas tree skirt, I decided to make it myself. My lovely in-laws had bought me my first sewing machine the Christmas before and I had yet to figure out how to thread it but once... with a lot of trouble I might add. So, I went out an got myself an hour one-on-one lesson on the basics of how to use my specific machine. I came home and went for it. Not with the Christmas tree skirt though, but with a dress for our family dog, Harley! I had no pattern to work with but I did have a favorite dress that I had recently bought for her. How hard could copying be? I am the queen of copy! I was right, thankfully. The dress came out amazing! I had several flops, but nothing that couldn't be fixed. I am oh so proud of my work.
I have fallen in love with sewing and making things. So far I have made (all ACU remember haha) my Christmas tree skirt, dog dress, apron and several different cell phone / iPhone cozies (still working on). I have found my nitch and I am loving it.
