Yep, that is right; I have a sewing machine. I didn't think this would happen for quite some time, but when I was in Michigan a few months ago, my cousin gave me my Grandma's old sewing machine. I'm pretty excited. I'm not sure what to do with it yet, but I am a little excited to learn. I'm not nearly as a perfectionist as what I was when I tried sewing a few years ago. Hopefully this will all go well. This is a pretty easy machine to use though. Just in the last couple of hours I have been able to learn how to use the automatic threader, the bobbin thing and play around with a lot of the different kinds of stitches. Yes, don't you just LOVE my terminology. I'm sure that it is really called the "bobbin thing" :) Anyways, don't expect great things from me anytime soon, but maybe sometime in the future I can be half as good as my mother and mother in law. Yeah for new toys and trying new things!

ReplyDeleteThat is very cool! I bet once you get going it will be hard to stop :) Can't wait to see what you make first!
ReplyDeleteI think I have that SAME machine--a Juki, right?? We are twinners! Let's get together and use our machines to make some rockin' projects! :)
ReplyDeleteHow fun! You'll learn fast, I don't sew worth a lick, but I do count on Jill for all me sewing needs :)
ReplyDeleteGood luck and keep us posted on your fun new projects!
I'm so happy for you! There is no teacher like trial and error when it comes to sewing. Be patient with yourself!
ReplyDeleteGood luck - anyone who can sew, or attempts to sew, gets my full respect and awe. And I understood your terminology. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you finally get to use it! Sorry I kept forgetting to send that stuff! Hope you enjoy. Oh- and check out amybutlerdesign.com. She has fun fabrics, but she also has some free patterns- they are cute and some are pretty easy:)
ReplyDeleteI am so proud of you! I can't wait to see what projects you start working on. I love it! Unfortunately, I also think I am addicted! Good luck! It is a bobbin thingie!
ReplyDeleteI am so excited for you! I just got one recently too and am looking for my next project. I can't wait to see what you end up making.
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking of learning to sew, too! It's just a part of being a woman.... ;)
ReplyDeleteLove you!
