Introduction

I started this blog so I could show some of the items I am making and to share some knowledge I have gained through these projects. I wanted to be able to help someone else out that is just starting their own sewing projects.

I've sewn off and own for years. Most of my sewing has been by hand. My mom taught me many moons ago this useful trait. At one point she even gave me her 1970 ish sewing machine. However, it's cord was damaged and well it had one stitch. It was even a bit bulky and I had no easy place to keep it where I could use it when I wanted too.

This year for our anniversary, my dear husband bought me a simple Singer 2263 sewing machine. Its pretty basic, but has many stitch types including the ability to make button holes (which I have not tried yet).

I have to say, as soon as I received it, I went crazy sewing items. The machine itself and I have had some disagreements (I think it should make stitches and it thinks bobbin jams are fun). But all in all I am truly enjoying sewing. I am even teaching my little one how to use the machine. I hope you enjoy this blog and the items I have made.
