First Sewing Project


Ok I've finally gotten around to taking some pictures of the curtains I made for my laundry room. i didn't have a pattern so they're not perfect but they work. Its hard to see because they are sheers, but they are lavendar with a white floral pattern. The other pic is the rest of the laundry room. I have had to kind of put sewing on hold for the moment because it does cost money and Ryan and I are trying to get some things paid off, so there hasn't been any extra money, but I am hoping to do some projects for friends and family to get some more practice. Last week I hemmed some scrub pants for my friend Crystal and she loved how they looked. She confessed that her expectations weren't too high because apparently she has had a bad experience with things being hemmed....Anyway, i'll continue to post pics of the things I make. The third pic is a curtain I got on clearance at target to create some privacy in the den when people stay over.

sewing!

I have recently discovered that I really like sewing and I think its something I could be good at with some practice. I am really excited. So far I have made some curtains for our laundry room, with no pattern so they aren't perfect, and a baby snow sack out of fleece that is so cute! I am going to practice as much as possible so I can make all of our Christmas gifts this year. This is going to be fun! PS- pictures to follow...its 3 am!
