Nathan gave me a sewing machine this year for Christmas and I have been looking forward to my first sewing lesson today. I learned all about my machine in a private lesson from the store where we purchased the machine and felt confident enough to leave there and head to Hancock Fabrics. I was a bit overwhelmed with the notions, fabrics, etc. but muddled my way through the remnant bin and picked out some fabrics to test out my new skills! I grabbed a pattern for a simple pillow and once I had dinner made this afternoon starting cutting, pinning, and sewing my way to my first pillow. Since I am using remnant (i.e. cheap) fabric to practice this isn't the most attractive pillow but it was a success! It is red on one side and black on the other. I am excited about my first complete project and am seeing how easy it will be to get hooked on finding new patterns and new fabric to create new clothes for the girls or furnishings for our house! YAY!! A new hobby is born!!!
