Little did i know (or would EVER expect) what a great gift it was going to be! A sewing machine!
I was pretty thrilled because i had been borrowing Rebecca's to learn on & now i had my very own....
My mom said she got a good basic one that should be good for a beginner. I couldn't help but get tickled at the box: "The natural choice for new sewers." Yeah.... that is definitely ME!
And my first project on this baby?! I made a cute little shirt for Eli. I used a zig zag stitch for the first time & i sewed along a curve for the first time.
It is supposed to look messy & fringed too. And because i didn't know if it was going to look decent i didn't want to go buy fabric. Sooooo..... i went into Randy's closet & pulled out a pair of old boxer shorts that shrunk in the wash (that's the wave fabric) & then pulled out an old red t-shirt of his from the goodwill pile. Voila- now i had a little piece of red for the bottom! I all it "upcycling"......
Eli likes it, I like it... all is well! Here is a tutorial for the shirt if you are interested: HERE.

Oh congrats! I've really had the feeling you would like sewing if you got into it.
