Yes, my friends..ever since I became a seamstress
at Beehive Clothing. I walked away wanting to sew
more. So I bought myself a new machine. After
paying bills, I decided to go with something afford
able and that wasn't going to break down on me.
I've only had experience on the commercial power
machines and figure the home machines should be
a cinch. So I got on to Craftsy.com bought a few
courses on sewing dresses, couture techniques,
hand tailoring and more. I'm telling you, it's addicting!
first one class, then another one! I'm also addicted to
Pinterest and all the lovely DIY, Cooking and Sewing
ideas found on there.
So far I've sewn a plaid scarf (from a pillowcase) off
a tutorial I found on Pinterest. Now I'm waiting for a
Vogue pattern arriving any day now for the Couture
Dress tutorial I signed up for on Craftsy! So excited
about my new hobby, I stocked up on items I might
need for upcoming projects at Walmart this morning.
So I wouldn't have to run to the store for a while.
Here's what I've found fun to make so far from
Pinterest. I'll update you later on how I did with the
Couture Dress Tutorial and the Starlet Suit Jacket
Tutorial. Want to check out a free tutorial? They
have one on how to make Dipped, Dusted & Rolled
Handmade Chocolates. I love that one!
The tutorial is here at Vermillion Rules
My version of The T-Shirt Ruffle Scarf!
(took me a minute or two to make it!)
Threadbanger machine, but that one sold out
on Amazon.com, so this one will do for now:)
at Walmart.
What are your favorite hobbies?
