First Date

Pinned Image
Today...I get my new sewing machine. I'm just going to warn you from here on out you will hopefully be seeing lots of sewing projects.


I always used to dread going into fabric stores with my mom. 
Not anymore. I guess deep down she did pass on her love of fabric.I know that she is SO excited and can't wait to see what I come up with.


I've been contemplating a sewing machine for quite some time. As our move to FL for a 
short 6 weeks approaches, I've decided I have to choose which craft stuff I will be toting along. Of course naturally you'd say ALL OF IT, but it won't fit and I won't stay organized. We have a small studio apartment and I don't feel right junking the thing up. Instead I'm gonna focus on learning something new that is more portable. 

I've been brainstorming projects and pinning things like crazy. I have high hopes and big ideas but these are semi long term goals.

I have been waiting for this all week and I'm ready for our first date.

  1. I love that picture! I lusted over a sewing machine for like 2 months before buying mine, and then of course I received it like 2 weeks before our move! Now that we're settled, I need to open it! Yes... I havent even opened the box... :(

    See, you're inspiring me!

  9. I've been wanting a sewing machine too! I saw a super cute project book at the Missouri Botanical Garden called "Sewing Green: 25 Projects Made with Repurposed & Organic Materials" that made me want one. I love the scarf on the cover.

    I was thinking about getting a small, handheld one (About $15 at Walmart) but I wasn't sure if I would actually use it. I can't wait to see what you come up with!
