My crafting 101

Oh how I would love to be a naturally creative/crafty person. I love crafts, but lack of time/patience/creativity....., well you get were I am going with this. I saw this website though, with a simple step but step tutorial on how to jazz up a plain sweatshirt and had to give it a try. I had recently cleaned out my closet, and figured rather than goodwilling this jacket like I was going to, I would try my pitiful sewing skills out on it.

Before...

After...
Still not to crazy about the jacket, but plan to sit down and try it out again and really get into it.
