SEWING MACHINE!!!
For a couple of years now, I have wanted a sewing machine for Christmas but other crafting gifts has preempted it - my Cricut, my Gypsy. Since our family is about to grow to 6, we are in need of a large vehicle so I figured Christmas wasn't going to be a big deal this year. Boy was I wrong!
My hubby surprised me with a fabulous sewing machine! The 26th of December that puppy was out of the box and I was reading the instruction manual. After quickly figuring out how to thread the bobbins and the machine, I was off. I had some fabric scraps on hand and I set about finding patterns I could download.
I soon got to sneak away to JoAnn's for some fabric and I found some amazing things! I found fabric to make the boys tote bags for their Awana books, fabric on clearance for purses and for next year's Christmas gifts (Lego sacks) and the like!
I have had the machine a little over a week and have already made the following:
3 purse type bags for "my" girls (my BFF's daughters)
2 tote bags for the boys' Awana materials
2 Buttercup bags
a crayon roll
a nursing cover
