I am "sew" excited to be sewing! ;-)
I just fell in love with this brown gingham fabric
and thought it would be perfect to use to pretty up the laundry room!
(And little did I know, but gingham is the BEST fabric for beginning sewers to use. Talk about being able to easily measure, cut and press - wow!)

But first...I had to thread the machine! Gulp!
I hadn't done that since I was in high school home ec, 20+ years ago!
This machine is so simple and wonderful for me to relearn on.
And I successfully threaded the top and bottom threads on the first try!
I never could have done it without this little guy!
When I saw this little machine at Wal-Mart for a super low price
AND with an instructional DVD included,
I felt the first small glimmer of hope that ~maybe~ I could sew! :-)
And, oh how I do love how these turned out.
I made two panels and they hang evenly, much to my surprise! ;-)
I think they look so cute and homey!
After finishing these last night,
visions of more curtains, napkins, placemats, tablecloths, aprons...etc. etc. were indeed dancing in my head! :-)
