My First Sewing Project!

Hello,

I'm so excited to share my first sewing project that is almost complete. I have been very lucky to have my mother help me with this, I would have been lost! It was fun working with her!
I had picked up this beautiful sewing machine early summer, I was so excited about learning to sew! It's taken me this long to have something to show,but I'm ready! I look forward to many more projects especially with the holidays coming! Who doesn't want a personal homemade gift? I know I do! You just know their from the heart! So here we go!

I wish I had more pics from the start, I'll know next time!

This amazing vintage material, I bought at an estate sale and I have been saving forever! I think it's just beautiful! I was hard cutting it! I do think this was the perfect project! I do want to be able to use and show it off!

So excited! Rewarding too!

This is Gavin and my back porch!

Happy Sunday!

My very own new/vintage aqua Singer ;)

Hello,

Saturday was a real good thrifting day for me as some of you know. Gavin and I had gone to two planned tag sales, so were just driving and we see a few signs for Huge Tag Sale. So we go and check it out. Not to much that catches my eye and I'm almost done looking until I see something aqua and large hiding under a table that catches my eye. I kneel down and sure enough it's a beautiful Singer sewing machine! The price was right and I liked it! I was thrilled, my own Singer sewing machine! I don't now how to sew yet but I'm eager to learn. Yesterday I cleaned it up, checked to see if it worked and I went to youtube and learned how to thread it! It's Great!! Before I started blogging which is only about 2 months ago, I probably wouldn't have thought twice about the lovely Singer! Yet having seen some of the work my fellow bloggers have done, you guys have inspired me to learn a new craft! So here are a few pics!



 Isn't she a beauty!

Goodnight!
Carly
