Graduation from Sewing Class

And the start of something beautiful..........

I took a sewing class at my local sewing store (Sew Unique in Cary). It was a basic class where you sew a project from pattern to completion. It was great to walk through all the steps with an instructors help. I learned alot and had a lot of fun.

In other news, I also have a snazzy new machine. It is on loan but a beauty. As I was starting the class, I realized the other older machine I had was not going to work. It did not have all the right presser foots and would not seem to do anything other than a straight stitch. Christopher's mother, Renee, had recently inherited a brand new machine that she was not using and was very kind in letting me borrow while I get my feet wet in the world of sewing. It helped a lot having a newer machine that worked great. I did not have to worry about it and it even did button holes! Thanks Renee.



So I have set up a little corner of my apartment as my sewing nook, sorta. I am currently using my patio table with a sheet over it but its working well for now. Its a work in progress so I will expand and add more as I do more projects.



Finally, I have also started my Dress Diary. I will use the diary to document my projects (patterns, notes, descriptions, etc.) with pictures. There is a link on the right side of this page with the categories of projects. You can use this Diary to see detail of what I have made and what my current projects are. They will be regular posts like this one but you can also find it by following the links under the Dress Diary on the right. I have posted my final project from this class there under other projects.

Hope you enjoy!
