My projects

Since I've gotten my sewing machine for Christmas I have been trying out things without using any patterns. The easy stuff like baby blankets, pillows, burp cloths, etc... This past week I bought a pattern for a skirt and have been trying that out. Well, I used the pattern in the beginning and then started trying to do my own thing to add a little style myself. I ended up working on it all day Saturday and then didn't like the way it looked and took it all apart at the end of the day. Don't you hate it when that happens. Oh-well. I am going to try it another way and see how it turns out. Hopefully I won't be taking it apart all over again!! I am really getting into this sewing hobby and have so many ideas, but don't really know how to do any of them. Maybe I need a "Sewing for Dummies" book!! Here are a few of my recent projects.
