So I finally have a sewing machine, one that works. I tried one from Goodwill, but it was a little misaligned so didn't work. The bf and I went Goodwill hunting for another one on Sunday, but to no avail. There wasn't a single one to be found, which I find so hard to believe as there's normally at least 5 in every Goodwill we go to. Not this past weekend, we went to 5 Goodwills, and ended up buying a brand new one from Target.
So Sunday afternoon I got it all set up and started playing around. I made a couple of little things. A little purple bag/pouch for my little life survival kit, a pin cushion that can hang on the side of my sewing machine, and a catnip pillow for my kitty cats.
The pin cushion is made of wine corks and scrap material (in the picture the material is from an old pillow case). I have one of these available in my store too.
So much fun. I'll move on to bigger things soon, but I am still getting the hang of it.

Fun! I was totally intimidated by the sewing thing, but then my mother-in-law, God bless her heart, gave me her sewing machine. And, to show my appreciation, I took a curtain sewing class at Jo-Ann's and made some pretty fabulous drapes for my dining room. Now I'm addicted and my friends keep asking me to sew their drapes, like I can just "whip" them up like a sweet potato pie. The sewing machine is now in a very dark corner in my very junky basement. Tee hee!
I am thinking you should get it back out of there and start sewing again.
I still haven't tackled the curtains that I need to alter, they are big and scary :)
