I had a sewing machine-- it used to be my mom's, worked perfectly well, but weighed about a thousand pounds. I really wanted to love using it, but I didn't. Because I've been teaching myself to sew, starting from scratch on a non-intuitive machine (even though it was sturdy and faithful and cool) was tricky. I started sewing by hand when I was still a single-digit, so I just avoided the behemoth and did things the slow way.
My new machine is wonderful, and I'm so excited by how easy it's been to use.
So, I made a little makeup brush pouch for a girlfriend. It's not perfect, but it's functional and it was fun to make. For a first machine project, it's not too shabby!
(Meanwhile, yes, there are other posts coming, and someday I may also reply to email, too. *sigh*)
wow! that is so cool! I wish I was crafty like that. I know, I could be, but....

ReplyDeleteHello Mrs. M--very pretty stuff. Do you need/want fabric from Japan? Even though you don't know me...you know that we military ladies like to help. I can't sew (tragic uncrafty genes) but love fabric stores so it would give me an excuse to actually go browse through one. Drop me a note on my blog if you are interested.
