just to get back in the swing of things, since it had been 22 years (ouch!), my Freshman Home Ec class at ol' SHS. The book inspired me to make a marker holder for all of Shelby's markers. It was just 6 straight lines stitched on a ready-made cloth napkin. Fun!A great blog has kept my inspiration going. The gals at Sew, Mama, Sew led me to Joel Dewberry's Sewn Spaces: Fresh and Modern Projects for Your Life and Home
, and I can't wait to make these cute little birds for everyone I know (act surprised if you get one for Christmas)!
Searching amazon led me to Sewing for Children: 35 Step-by-step Projects to Help Kids Aged 3 and Up Learn to Sew
. I can NOT wait to get Shelby involved. She's already helped me make a bobbin and loved working the foot peddle.
. I can NOT wait to get Shelby involved. She's already helped me make a bobbin and loved working the foot peddle. Okay, time to get to the point. Because I've become a little obsessed with my new creative outlet, I now want a serger. I've only used one once in Home Ec and was banned from using it again by Mrs. Engle. My failure to use it properly only fueled my curiosity.
More projects I have big plans to do:
 |
| octopus costume |
 |
| doll clothes |
 |
| I-spy quilt |
A serger machine would speed up these projects, once I figured it all out!
