I took a 5 class course to learn how to use my sewing machine (good thing too - I didn't know it could do half the things I learned!). It's been super fun getting back into sewing. I posted some animal pillows I made earlier in the year and I've made "lots" more stuff but they are mostly all gifts so I can't post them yet haha. Anyway, here are some techniques I learned how to do in some of my classes:
 |
| ruffle one fabric while simultaneously attaching a non-ruffled piece |
 |
| insert a zipper |
 |
| gather (without pulling threads by hand!) |
 |
| sew knits together/make a neckline |
 |
| insert buttonholes! |
 |
gather - using a cord (the cord would go on the back s you don't see it, duh...)
|
Half these things I can't actually do without buying the correct "feet" so if you're looking for something to get me, a gift card to
Thimble Pleasures might be nice ;).
Sewing isn't the only thing I've been doing:
 |
| making artisan bread |
 |
| and eating it! |
 |
to grow the little guy inside me :).
This is from 30 weeks - I'm now 32 weeks!
Holey moley!
Holy moly?
Holy moley?? |
