So, about a month ago I decided I wanted to get one of these.
So I went to a couple of stores and decided in this basic Bernette for Bernina machine. It is just the basics. But I am not sure how much I will like it. Last weekend I picked it up. And it has been on the table awaiting me to have the nerve to sit down and figure it out. So today, I went to Jo Ann Fabrics, bought some scissors, pins and fat quarters and this evening I sat down and figured it out. Here are the goodies.
After I realized I could sew close to a straight line, I decided to make the checkbook cover that is in the book, Weekend Sewing.
Here it is all pinned and ready to be sewn together, then the finished project.
I haven’t put away the needles. But I think that I am going to like this sewing thing.
I’ve been thinking of digging out my sewing machine to make a few simple things… now, that doesn’t mean I’ve actually done it, though!
Keep it up and you’ll be flying soon! Sewing gives you a quicker thrill than knitting, but it’s kinda hard to do at work. Good Luck!
