i hella <3 oakland
On Wednesday I attended a free totebag-making workshop at Rock Paper Scissors, a volunteer-run art collective in my new town. It was my first time using a sewing machine. (Actually, one time I made a fleece scarf with Peetie back in college...it turned out pretty nice but she did most of the sewing while I just sat there in awe.) So anyway, my roomie gave me an old Oakland shirt and for the lining I used a shirt I got at a thrift store in Chicago many years ago. It turned out better than I expected and it was so much fun using a sewing machine!

Oh cool. Was this pretty easy to do? I bought a sewing machine 2 years ago and have used it twice, I think.
It was a lot easier than it looks. Just take two shirts, cut off the top and arms to make four squares, sewed the outside, sewed the lining, added straps, and sewed it all together.
Ooh you have a sewing machine? That's cool! Maybe I'll get one.. ;)
That's so frigging cute!
