yep. i caved. and. bought. a. sewing. machine.
gulp!
what exactly was i thinking? i've sewn once in my 30 years and that was in a home economics class in school (do they still offer that?)! it was an apron. and although i remember things going ok, i also remember thinking... i'll just get my mom to help when i need it. hahaha... that was before i moved a gzillion miles away and became an addicted d-i-y-er! what kinda diy girl would i be if i couldn't sew?! hello!
so after reading through the instruction book (yes i read it cover to cover...lol) and taking a couple of test runs on some scrap fabric i jumped in with both feet! and well, i must admit that i was a little in over my head, but what better way to learn?
all in all i'd say i'm pretty impressed with my VERY limited skill at this point, but i do have HIGH hopes and alot of ambition. i've been scouting some tutorial books in anticipation of getting my feet even wetter....
i'll be be back later this week to post some photos of my first project :)!
until tomorrow,
Good for you! I think you'll get your use out of it over the yrs!
