My First Proper Sewing Project

Tuesday 17th Jun 2008 @ 11:21 pm

I love it already even with all it’s imperfections *grins*.

I followed the tutorial here at Multicrafty’s blog. If she hadn’t favourited one of my flickr photo’s I may never have gained inspiration!

I originally wanted to make the roll in my book “The Complete Guide to Knitting and Crochet” which is why I bought the Frisian print faux fur. The one I made though was far more functional. For some reason I can find every other pattern from that books picture besides that one but oh well lol.

Stitchings a little wonky and I remembered to put in the ribbon too late (hence it being a little high). I like the colours though.

That’s all I got for today. I also made cupcakes for my friend, I’ll share the recipes once I perfect it.

Can’t leave you without photo’s can i?!

My first project

Grrrr sticker marks!

I got the jeans model simply because for 5 pounds more you got the jeans attachments which they sell separately for 35!

My new sewing machine is here! Yay! I’m so excited and no one else cares…. Good thing I was home this morning as it wasn’t due till next week. My postman’s got into this weird habit of knocking on my window before ringing my doorbell. Scares the crap out of me!

I’ve been playing with it all morning. Trying to get used to the new controls. It’s a lot different from my other Toyota but it feels so spiffy in comparison to my mini sewing machine. I need to get a better selection of thread though.

I’ve been looking for some patterns to get going with but I can’t decide what I want to make yet…

Better get on with stuff now and stop messing about with it lol.
