I've been wanting to learn to sew and I had mentioned I wanted a sewing machine, and I got one for my birthday! (Katie you inspired me to pursue this, I've always wanted to learn but didn't have the guts!) So I sat down last Wednesday (while Isaac took a nap) and gave it a try. Of course I had NO IDEA how to wind a bobbin or thread the machine, so I tried to load the informational DVD on my lap top (but it didn't work) so I had to do it the old fashioned way...read and do EEEEK! I'm not exactly a read and learn kindof person, I learn better if you show me.
Here I go....Anyways, I wanted to make a "mom bag" for my diaper bag - since I lose all of my stuff in Isaac's diaper bag no matter how organized I try to be. So with two kinds of fabric, buttons and ribbon I set out to create my first project...what do you think? (It's big enough for my wallet, camera and little things like chap stick, keys and phone)
Yes that's a pocket!Today (Wednesday again!) I start class for my teaching certification...and I wanted to make something I could keep my pens in - considering I always lose them no matter how big or small my purse is - something cuter then a pencil pouch - so again during Isaac's nap, I created this modern pencil pouch! How cute is this!!?!?
**Don't be discouraged or intimidated if you want to try something new, it is so worth it when you discover that you're good at what you've always wanted to do!**
