bless my birth

Recently my sewing machine was commandeered by Captain Scar Booty (this has been Jonny’s pirate alias ever since a certain unfortunate accident that befell him when he was about 3), most menacing pirate of the seven seams. He has watched me sew enough, so when he sat down at the helm, he felt he knew what to do. A scrap of fabric for his sea, he practiced “beating” a course into the wind (zig-zag stitching), as well as sailing a straight course with the wind in his sails (straight stitching). He soon decided he would like to make use of his new skill and create Christmas presents for his cousins! He did such a good job! He soon made the declaration that sewing is just as fun as video games . . . Wow! I never thought he would bestow that honor upon anything!
