I received a sewing machine for Christmas a little over a year ago, and it was wonderful My mom used my sewing machine to make me all sorts of curtains for my home. This year, I decided I should probably try to figure out how to use the thing for real. This resulted in my mom and I making a skirt. This time, however, I paid attention to what my mom was doing, and afterwards, felt brave enough to go out on my own. It took a little while for Walter and I to get used to each other but with the help of YouTube sewing tutorials and an understanding about which bobbins Walter prefers, we've found a way to work together. The result has been several little projects that probably take me longer to make than they should, but it is great fun. I highly recommend it!
This (Twin Peaks inspired) pillow was my first solo project: :)
If you are thinking about sewing, this is a great video about how to thread one's bobbin; it saved me a lot of heartache.
