SO, I learned how to SEW!


Finally, after my sewing machine sat and collected dust for 4 years, I have learned how to use it! My first project was a pillowcase in my sewing class; that was easy, but slightly embarrassing since my machine squealed so loud due to lack of oil. Needless to say, I learned how to oil my machine in the sewing class!

My next project was an apron. It turned out cute, but I chose that pattern more to learn how to use and read patterns, so it was a work in progress!

Next, I decided to try burp cloths (picture) since my friend Shelley's baby shower is this weekend. I thought they turned out super cute and am getting excited about my new found talent!

Now if only I could learn how to make clothes! I'm working on a dress, but the sizes on the pattern were WAAAAAYYYYYYY off, causing me to have entirely too much fabric, so I'm trying to figure out how to make adjustments. I will post a picture when it is finished!
