I think sew!

Well, I thought the day would never come when I actually wanted to try to sew. I haven't attempted to make anything since my junior high days when we made a blanket. I think back then I even asked a classmate of mine to sew if I pinned...LOL!

I like to think that I'm a fast learner these days. My mom gave me a quick run down on how the basics of her machine worked. And from there I went head first into my projects!

All my fabric that will turn into wonderful projects!

The beast that I will be working with!

Alexis wanted to help so badly! I figured a cutting job would be best for now!

Ok, are you ready for some finished projects?!

Project 1: A cute Spring ruffle towel

Project 2: Another kitchen towel

Project 3: Alexis' iPod carrier...almost complete

And my best project yet...

Project 4: A coffee cozy with batting in the middle

I promise you a little pain and frustration occurred along the way. I either stepped on pins or they poked me in every finger of mine. (probably a rookie mistake.) The girls were fighting or yelling in my ear while I was trying to sew AND the machine kept jamming up on me. Overall, I think that my projects turned out well considering it was my first attempt.

 I don't think they are good enough yet to sell or give away as gifts, but I'll keep working on that! A sewing machine just might be entering my home for good!
