LEFT-HANDED SEWING?!

A friend had given me a bunch of 5" squares for piecing; 
 I've permission to use my fingers more but not my hand yet,
 so I thought of those blocks just waiting
 for someone to piece them together!
I am going to make a few placemats to get me into the swing of things-I can't do any rotary cutting but I can use these blocks already cut.  I sewed them together easily enough.  The iron was interesting because my right hand kept trying to barge in
 but I got it eventually! 
 It might not be much, but it was sewing!

  4. I don't know how you do it! I don't sew that well with two perfectly working hands! It's a beautiful placemat and you'll be all ready for the summer holidays.
