All bought during the sale!

Couldn't miss out on a bargain, could I?  

Machines

Today I learned something I should have a LONG time ago,
that my machines WILL work better if I clean them and make
sure to fasten all the screws. Good job there!

So not much sewing done except some embroidering.



Done using my Brother Innovis 500D :) I like it, now that it works
like a charm again.



Gotta give my other babe some love too so here it is,
Husquarna Emerald 116. Please ignore my messy work table.

Ebay...

I'm kind of peed off at Ebay today. I so thought I had the winning bid until someone
swooped in and snatched it from when there were only 30 seconds left :(
Usually most patterns offered on there are sized big and since I'm petite it makes it
much harder.

I am looking forward to getting this pattern (V2903) home though:



I'm itching to go and buy some fabric for it even though I'm not sure of what I want yet.

Now I'm on needles waiting for the next auction to end. I really want the pattern, it's big, but I want it.

The beginning of a new year.

With the new year I decided it would be a good idea to finally start sewing all the things
I've planned to do for ages. I started out last year with Simplicity 8981, in denim,
which turned out pretty cute! Even though the fit was a tiny bit off in the front.
I'll have to get some decent pictures soon.



Yesterday I wanted to try something that was a bit easier since I am a bit of a
beginner at sewing clothes. This meant that I started on a simple skirt, also in denim,
however I didn't take into account that denim, even though it's a fine denim is a bit stiff.
Leading to a skirt that moved very weirdly, the fit is great, the movement not so much :(

I will give it another shot once I got some new fabric and when my Vogue patterns
arrive!
