Finally my sewing machine has been taken out of its box!!
It was a gift from my Nan for my birthday back in April, which sadly she was unable to see me open. For the past 5 months it has sat in its box waiting for the time to spend playing with it properly
A couple of weeks ago I found myself with a few hours spare and decided to take the plunge! I grabbed my CK threads tin and set up my sewing table in the dining room
I actually made a cushion
It was only a practice run with one of my mum’s old shirts to see how the process works but it went better than expected and I don’t feel any fear now to try other things
With that in mind today I’ve booked a day off from work as I have a project in mind which I’ll be practicing (with old sheets) before tackling with the good fabric. Unfortunately I cannot divulge what the project is as I’m hoping it will be good enough to surprise this little lady with
First project seem to have worked out great! You go gilr! I'm always having a love/hate relationship with my sewing machine. It's a bit like watching gymnastics on TV, when you see it, it all seems so easy, but when I do it myself I can walk with ribbons and jump up and down but make a 'flic-flac' or walk on my hands...now way! Good luck on your further projects!
ReplyDeleteMmm a mystery. Great machine, have fun.

Good on you for plucking up the courage and going for it - I'm still not quite there! I was making some progress - ie getting closer to working out how to use the machine but then I moved and it got packed into the garage at my mum's. Going to get her to bring it up this weekend though, all being well! xxx
ReplyDeleteSo much fun! The possibilities are endless know.. You won't want to stop. Well done with the cushion
