I Did It!

I received a sewing machine last year for Christmas from Jeff. During the summer I pulled it out of the box, thinking I was going to try it out, but I never did. It just sat out of the box, collecting dust. Before Christmas, Jeff was threatening to take it back or sell it. Well, after Christmas, I DID IT... I finally used my sewing machine. I used the manual to learn how to thread the bobbin and work the machine. My first product was a camera strap. I looked up on the internet how to make it. Then I went the The Quilt Shop in town and they helped me pick out some fabric. That place is amazing and has such a big selection. Here are the camera strap covers I have made so far... Here is a close up of mine, it was on my camera, so it was hard to take a picture.
I even mended some holes in a couple of shirts and sewed one of the girls dress up costumes back together. I hope I have time to continue to sew and come up with some new projects.
