This Christmas I received a Singer sewing machine. I had taken a sewing class in high school so I remebered a little bit about sewing but when I found myself stumbling to thread the machine I turned to the DVD instructions that came with the machine. Brian popped the DVD into the computer and we both took a few lessons. I thought the DVD lessons were really helpful and soon I was a pro at threading again. Te cool thing about the instructions is the visualness of them. I don't know about ou but I hate reading instructions. I will try to figure the thing out myself and believe me I tried but after popping in the DVD I was on my wa in 5 minutes.
So after the lessons, I sewed myself some curtains for the den. There were 4 panels to sew. I did the first three and then my little panting puppy of a husband, who couldn't stand that I got a new toy and was playing with it, asked to do the last panel. Let's just say the last panel is a bit different and leave it at that. The curtains are now hung and at the proper length so that is another home project completed. Today, I also ventured out to make 2 pillows for our TV chair that is in the den. Sewing is pretty fun. Now I have to find a new project. I guess that means a trip to the fabric store!
Also, I just recently published a book of photos from our wedding in March. To check out the book go to:
