Very 1st Sewing Project - EVAH!!

Hello & Happy Last Week of September Everyone!!

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend!

I did some crafting... Trying to make a small

pillow case... had to wait for a Zipper foot to

arrive in order for me to sew it - :)

Last week I told you I was trying to learn how to sew

and I'm self teaching myself... YIKES!!! The sewing

machine SCARES the crap out of me and I always feel

very intimidated by it - I had like 3 sewing machines all given

 to me (I never asked for them - MIL & Mom gave them to me)  

I did sell one of them & I still have 1 that needs 

a couple small parts, and I got another

one that is sorta a newer model... (not really) 

but newer than the other ones I did have! 

Any who - I told you I would Share my

Fall Place mats that I created - Now I can tell you, right off the

bat, that I knew I messed up the corners - they are not square

like they're suppose to be - partly because I SUCK at cutting!

I can totally admit it - which is why they are ALL off! LOL

If you notice the seam is also crazy crooked! 

I apparently can't sew straight! hahaha :) 

I did get a little better with each mat - (according to my mom anyway)

I decided to double stitch each mat because... Well....

It's ME who is sewing these things and I know they will

fall apart! tehehehe

Anyway.. here are the Fall place mats I made

all by myself as my very first sewing project!

I'm totally cool with any comments you may have

as I know I have a loooong way to go in learning!

I've already bought more material to try making Christmas

place mats - so let's see if I get any better! hahahha

All the Material was from Walmart - I thought I would

start out with so so material, before buying the good stuff! ;)

I also purchased an apron pattern (from Joann's) - 

I'm not really gonna try that one on my own.. 

My mom said she would cut the pattern out for me

(Thank Goodness) & my son Hunter has been learning to sew

at school and has already made an apron (I'll share it when

he finally brings it home) - So, I've enlisted his help! (Wink Wink)

Maybe I will like sewing? So far it's not to bad since I know

I'm not that good at it! I need to work on cutting more

accurately since I'm really bad at! :)

After all my Jibber Jabber about sewing -

I think I'll share a card with you tomorrow!

Thanks for stopping by & sharing your

thoughts & comments with me!

Have a FABULOUSLY Crafty Day!!!!
