Sewing 101

A couple Christmas' ago, Ty's Mom got me a sewing machine. I was so excited, but I recently decided it was time to get it out and learn to sew. Each winter I try to pick a new hobby to keep me busy (NOT skiing or anything else involving painful falls in the icey snow). This year I'm taking on the sewing machine.

I got it out of the box Tuesday, watched a demo video on how to thread it, etc. then got myself a pattern to make a skirt. Here is the result, a new pink and brown tweed skirt. I think it turned out pretty well, the zipper and hem are a little dicey but overall I'm happy with my first product.

Ty captured my first stitch also (see below). I plan on taking on another project this weekend as we watch a lot of football :)

Thanks Sandy, I'm enjoying the sewing machine a lot!

    WOW! I'm impressed! You totally blew my purse out of the water :) You have some natural talent there. Can't wait to see what else you make this winter.
