I've just got back from holiday and I'm itching to get to my crafting again, so I thought I'd update you on my sewing... the sewing table isn't going unused, and I think my boyfriend's getting worried as to the quality of table he'll have to rustle up now!!!
So I've now had 3 weeks of sewing lessons and it's going pretty well! So far I've learnt how to put in a zip, with my gorgeous mini cushion cover:
Ive got to grips with lining and pockets on my WIP, a metallic tote bag...
And have even been sent away with some homework - I guess I can be trusted to sew a little on my own!!!
I'm hoping once the tote bag is done, Angela, my sewing teacher, will be happy with me to go onto some clothing. My Dad bought me the gorgeous Twinkle Sews for Christmas and I'm hankering to make myself some wearables!
What were your first sewing projects? I ogle over Burda magazine every month but I guess it's better to improve on homewares & bags before embarking on huge swathes of fabric!
Everything looks so tidy and neat- you're doing well! My first sewing project was a little notions bag- just a simple zippered bag with a lining and it took me forever to put it together!
