I pulled out the old (well new and basically never used, bought 2 yrs ago on clearance) dusty sewing machine out yesterday. I am on a quest to become more crafty. I once was a crafty girl, learned to sew in school and did pretty well, but that was about 17 years ago. So to say I am rusty, well I am right up there with Mater from Cars and might need a little Rust-eze to go with it., is my friends an understatement. ;) So I dusted it off, literally, and tried to thread the machine yet again and make sure the bobbin was working. Guess what? It worked, apparently the last few times I tried to use it, I did NOT have it threaded right. Sigh. Guess it helps to re-read the directions when all else fails.
So on my quest, I have been looking at
Craftster because I LOVE that site and decided I want to make some pillowcase dresses for the girls. Once I master that I plan to move to a rag quilt, which is much easier (so it seems) to make than a regular quilt. I found some really cute fabric at wally world today for both the dresses and the quilt...but stuck with just the dress stuff today. I have some other fabric that I plan to test out a dress for H and see how it goes before I start cutting on my new fabric for both girls. We'll see how it goes, if it turns out, I will post a picture. I make no promises though.
Wish me luck!
