I can honestly say.....



I have NEVER sewn before. Ever.


I got this nifty little "beginners" sewing machine for Christmas from my mother.




So I went out and bought all sorts of remnants (no need to start buying the expensive stuff, when I have nooooo clue what I am doing, right?)



So, I made a little.....


........well what is it? Jenny, some help here.....


(You see I stole the idea from her, she made one for Connor once)




Anyway, I was so proud of myself....pretty good, huh?


[Applause]




I mean seriously...... for not ever having so much as touched a sewing machine, more less


Threading a needle


Adjusting thread tension


Drawing up Bobbin thread....Bobbin? What? Do they mean "bobby pin?"


Bobbin winding


Presser foot lifter


Turning a square corner


Zigzag stitch




Whew....


I had a lot to overcome here.


So I am pleased with my very FIRST sewing project.


Even if I don't know what it is, or when exactly I am going to use it.


Expect more showiness from me as I sew more "projects"
