Check me out. PIP.

My mom bought my late great-aunt's sewing machine from her estate sale and is letting me use it to get going on some of my Pinterest-inspired projects.  I haven't touched a machine since junior high and I've never sewed a piece of clothing, but I thought I'd give it a whirl.

The machine and I got into a fight last night and we went to bed angry, but we made up this morning and I finished.  Perhaps my aunt (who passed away a year ago today) was channeling some of her sewing mojo.  :)

It's definitely not perfect, but I'm pretty proud of myself for my first attempt.

  • That is so cute!  I've always wanted to get into sewing but put it off or am intimidated.  Now I'll just have to put in some orders with you instead :)

  • Great job!!

    I am glad you got your machine working!!

    You should try a tshirt dress, I've had it mulling around inmy brain for quite some time, but havent found a second to try it out: Same way as the skirt, except you sew it on the bottom of a tshirt.
