Today, my friend Sue came over to teach me how to use my sewing machine. I've had my sewing machine for years and have done several things with it. I have made two dresses for my sweet nieces, repaired my woobie several times, and repaired some clothes that have gotten holes. Every time I have used my sewing machine, I have had to pull out the manual so that I can figure out how to thread the machine. I know the basics of a sewing machine-you put some cloth under the needle, push down on the foot pedal and *poof* things begin to come together.
So anyway, Sue came over to teach me more of the ins and outs of my machine. My main goals for the day were to:
1. learn how to thread my machine
2. learn how to wind a bobbin
3. create something super cute!
I achieved all of my goals! I can thread my machine and wind a bobbin easily! My machine even crapped out at one point and I pulled the thread out and re-threaded it and fixed my machine! I also made a cute diaper cloth for Baby.
I'm a big believer that just because we are having a boy...not everything has to be baby blue! I have lots of supplies so I plan on making more burp cloths and maybe even some curtains for the nursery.
During our sewing lesson, our friend Vicki also came over with her 3 month old baby, Drake. Sue and I took turns hold and playing with Drake! I'm so glad that I have such good friends to come by and visit with me and keep me company. Today was a great day!!!
