I do other things beside soap

I'm working on a sewing project (or two or three...) these past few days.  It is surprisingly going really fast!  I'm amazed.  I got a new walking foot for my Kenmore machine and I'm in LOVE!  It makes everything just perfect...like butter.  My seams are perfectly aligned...I'm amazed.  Who know sewing could be so much fun, but I wonder why my machine needs to have the walking foot just to function properly.  Who cares, just as long as it works better now.  I used to get so frustrated and constantly thought what am I doing wrong...I'm just not a sewer, I'll stick to knitting.  But wow, I'm in love....here is a snippet of what I'm working on....ssshhhh!  It is a secret present for a friend.
