Sewing Project and My New Machine
I finally got out my Mother's Day gift and put it to good use. In typical Pacific Northwest fashion, the weather has gone from dreary/cold/wet/wet/wet to smoldering heat. So I decided to make myself some sundresses!
Now, I had a perfectly good machine that My Man got me for our 2nd anniversary, but it was hard to do any sort of quilting or large pieces on. Not only is this new one equipped for quilting (well, as much as you can do without a long arm machine) but it has so many fun stitches. Plus it can do monograms! How fun!!!

I got some good deals at the fabric store, and can't wait to sew, sew, sew!
My first project on my new machine. I am so bad about using patterns. I just eyeball it and go for it. This one was super simple. I am totally wearing it today and staying cool.

Great job! =)
Hi Andrea. What a fancy new machine. I'm a very basic sewer and am only just learning more complicated stuff. Your dress looks great.

Very cute....I know what you mean about the weather, but today we're back to chilly?!
Cute! Wanna make me one? =)
That is beautiful!! You sewed that???!!! WOW! I am a terrible clothes sewer, but a good slipcover sewer ;)
Yes, as Kristi said, "Wanna make me one?"
It is terribly hot here, too in SC. 105 with humidity-yuck.
Keep sewing!
I really like your machine!
Lucky. ;)
All I've got is a plain ol' Singer.

You are brave to work without a pattern. I can do that for totes, bags, etc but NEVER for a garment. How do you do the smocking/gathering? Always wondered about that.
