OMG I'm sewing!

Wow it's been too long since I've posted! Ok so here is an update. I now have a sewing room!!! I started in my dining room table and took that room over (we were eating dinner at the kitchen bar, lol). I realized that this was something I wanted to keep doing so we decided to take one of the spare bedrooms and turn it into a sewing room :) Here are some pics from the last couple months with things I've been sewing.

I started on pinterest with a simple pencil pouch I found. This tutorial was great because it has step by step instructions with pictures! I love pics!




And then god created YOUTUBE where I found and keep finding how to's on everything and anything sewing. This is the New Yorker purse from 'Love to Sew.' It gave me a step by step tutorial on how to sew this cute little bag from start to finish. Next time I will make the handle a little longer. 


 


Time to take another class. I took this class at my local sewing store. I learned to use twin needles on fabric that's been fused to batting. It gives it this raised and textured look and feeling. I started another one for my sister in orange and lined with striped fabric (I love stripes!)



I found this amazing woman on youtube with great beginner videos on sewing, quilting, even organic gardening, Vanessa, The Crafty Gemini. She has a link on her youtube channel for beginner sewing projects that I have watched over and over and even made a few.
