Adventures in Sewing Machines
My parents are good, kind individuals. They got me a sewing machine for Christmas. I picked out the Brother Ex-660... and by picked out, I mean bought the only sewing machine Costco had.Y'all, Costco is a genius store. This sewing machine is awesome. Mainly, it's computerized. No foot petal! Just hit a button and it goes! Adjust speed using a slidy thing! This is the best thing ever!
So, I broke my shiny! new! plaything! out of its packaging and got to work. First up was an old pair of jeans that I turned into a skirt using this pattern. See?
I was originally going to hem the bottom, but now I'm not sure... I kinda like the rough edge. Thoughts?
I was also working on a cute print skirt. I'd cut it out, sewed everything, tried it on and realized that I was ready to start dealing with interfacing things. But first I had to cut open and press the darts and then press the side seams.
Yeah. I thought I was snipping the dart. Guess not. I'd pulled out the iron and the ironing board and everythingn (a rare occasion, let me tell you). There was much wailing and gnashing of teeth. I figured I'd just do the interfacing, then I realized I was missing the 1/4" seam allowance and didn't actually own press cloth. So, yeah. I put everything away and took out the cookie dough.
Mmm... cookie dough.
