Sewing Fun

Our very first Christmas together I told Matt I wanted a sewing machine. I had big dreams of all the amazing things I was going to make. I received said sewing machine and in the over 2 years since then I've made about 5 things :)

We'll as part of NO TV JULY I'm hoping I can spend a bit more time sewing. During our last use I made a dress for Zoey out of fleece. My sewing machine didn't like the fleece much and I thought I had broken it. A year and a half later I decided to take the machine in to get serviced, but figured I should try sewing with it again first so I'm not THAT girl. And to my surprise and enjoyment, it worked!!

Out came my first sewing project of 2013!

INSERT PICTURE

I actually love it. The fabric is actually something I found at Goodwill. It already had the darts, I'm not that good, so it was perfect!

The process wasn't easy. That first time I cut the fabric I cut it too short, no idea how since I did measure. Then I also can't seem to sew in a straight line! My bottom hem isn't bad but my top on, you can definitely see the "curves". But it was worth it and totally a piece I can wear.

What should I make next?

New Beginning

How many posts have begun with "sorry it's been so long..."? We'll I haven't written in this blog for over two years, not good! But I'm excited about the attempt to begin again. This first post is just my introduction back into the world of blogging, nothing fancy. Over the next 2 weeks I'm hoping to get some serious blogging done. My husband and I are doing NO TV for all of July. So far so GREAT! It's given us tons of time to do other fun things. Just wait until you see all my posts about the crafty things I've been up to!

So...welcome back blog. I hope I can keep it up this time!
