So, for mother's day, I FINALLY got a sewing machine. I've been asking for years, and have always been answered with uncontrollable laughter. I'm pretty sure Frank associates sewing with his mother, who has been a seamstress her whole life out of neccessity to clothe her children. This will NOT be me! Not that I don't wish to be that talented, but I know my limits :) I just want to sew some curtains, a pillow or two...no biggie, right? WRONG! Skills...you need skills to even thread a stupid machine. So, I've watched the instructional DVD more than enough times, and I think I'm finally getting it. The very fist night, I sewed this nifty little bean bag - it's my pride and joy! I won't even let the kids play with it.
After that, I decided I needed a pin cushion (since I'll be sewing all the time now), so I created this little ditty using a $1 wooden bowl from D.I., and fabric and buttons I already had - no sewing machine needed! That's my kind of sewing project!

That is one cute pin cushion! You have skills!!!! I can't wait to see what you create :)
Love the pincushion. You obviously have some skills. Watch out though, sewing is addictive- curtains, pillows, pincushions, cute bags....then you go to a quilt shop. The next thing you know groceries become optional because they eat into your sewing budget. Just sayin'.
cute !!!
I agree with bountiful quilter...sewing is addictive
You are so creative!
