So I'm rather new to the sewing world, unless you count that stuffed panda I made in Home Ec back in the eighth grade. Since the most complicated part of that project was an invisible stitch, we're not going to count that. Last summer I was planning my wedding and I was trying to come up with creative and budget friendly ways to put my mark on our impending nuptials. One of the projects I came up with involved plush bride and groom birds (more on them in another post). I ended up hand sewing a bunch of birds and found that I really liked sewing. It didn't take long for me to start lusting after a sewing machine of my very own. My husband came through this Christmas with a brand new Brother PC-210PRW.
This is probably more machine than I actually need, but I wanted something that could grow with me. Now my spare bedroom looks like a fabric store exploded.
I know there are plenty of sewing and crafting blogs out there but I thought I would start this because I can't be the only beginner out there (see Michelle Slatalla's column in the New York Times). I thought this blog might be a good way for me to learn, but also for other beginners to learn along with me. We can also find good projects together.
I should point out that this blog is not going to be all sewing, all the time. Sometimes other projects will catch my fancy; I'll be featuring those as well. Also, summer is fast approaching and my husband and I are community gardeners, a little gardening might sneak in from time to time. I'm also not above sharing the occasional yummy recipe. Expect things to be a little eclectic around here. Another thing to keep in mind, I have a full time job. I'm going to try and keep my posts fairly frequent, but sometimes life intervenes. Of course, maybe my mother will be the only one who reads this thing.
Here's hoping we can grow and sew together!
