Embroidery
Sewing is still one thing I want to take some lessons in, as I would love to know how to make my own clothes and what nots. I have a friend who does lots of embroidering on clothes, that looks really nice. I know those machines are expensive, but if I could save my hubby’s company some money in doing their embroidery on their carhartt jackets, it will all be worth it in the end. Once my training is over with and things settle down a bit, I am going to look into some classes.
By the time I get to the point of doing this, and being good at it, it will be time for the NEXT winter season to be here. Yeah, I’m a slow learner in things like this!
Sewing, hmmm
I have been asked if I could sew, um… a little (very little) bit. I can’t sew a straight line to save my life! I have always wanted to make my own clothes, but I just can’t get the hang of sewing. I am not really sure why they were asking me, as I know they could find plus size dresses cheaper in the stores than I could make; fabric is expensive!
As it is, I have a pile that is continuing to grow of things the guys are asking me to fix for them. I haven’t had the time to actually get out the sewing machine with this new job. But I will have to get to it eventually as they are running out of jeans. What is it with the jean manufactures not making jeans like they used to!!? Out of the 5 pairs of jeans in the pile, each need to have the pockets resewn!
Sewing
I wish I had a natural talent for sewing, as I would love to make some hip hop clothes. I have a pattern for some purses that I want to try, as they don’t look too hard, then I will go from there.
I still get the heebie jeebies when I get out the sewing machine after I had a needle break off and go through my eye. You would think that after all this time I would be over it by now, but that fear when I was in sixth grade comes back like it was yesterday. One day, I will be able to sew with ease and no care in the world… or at least I hope!
Minnie Mouse
I am on the hunt for anything Minnie Mouse. I have a birthday party to go to next weekend for a special little girl. Right now she is all about Minnie Mouse. I am hoping to find some toys r us coupons so I can go shopping there for a gift. I’m all about coupons and scoring a great deal!
I have some scrapbook stuff that I am going to try and make a cute card. I am rusty on this, as its been a while since I have scrapped. I have a pattern for a small purse, that I would love to find the right material with Minnie on it to make her one, just not sure if I want this to be my first sewing project like this.
It would be the smaller one at the bottom. She could use it more so as a diaper bag for her babies, as opposed to a purse. I could fill it up with cute little things I find from Toys r Us! Oh the fun of shopping for little girls!!
My new tote
I received my new tote in the mail today! Isn’t it cute!!
Samatha over at Sew N Time made it for me. I wish I was this good at sewing, as I would love to make a few more in different colors! I am going to have to do some practicing to be this good!
