My First Project

After playing around with my sewing machine and using old fabric to test my skills on I decided to put my skills to the test. We have a million pillows on our couch but they are all the same color as our couch, so I thought I would spice it up a bit by making pillow covers for two of the pillows.

Pillow before transformation--boring!

Both pillow covers cut and pinned before sewing:



New pretty pillows --I hope to find a fun orange or yellow to add to the collection next!



I enjoy sewing but I need a lot more practice before I start making anything fancy.

Let the New Year Resolution Begin!

New Year's Resolution:

To learn something new.

I have decided to take on the very domestic and useful task of learning how to sew. If you have ever been in a vintage store and found something awesome but it wasn't your size you know how I feel when i think to myself, "I wish I knew how to sew".

I have just purchased my first sewing machine and have decided to document my experience. The adventure should begin in about a week and a half. I will keep you posted!!!
