Sewing Sundays

I am trying to start a weekly blog post on sewing, I cannot promise that I will post something every week.  I can promise that I will try to post as frequently as possible.

My Old Singer (sorry best picture on file)

As I have already stated, I just received a new sewing machine in advance for my Christmas gift.  I already love my machine, but it was not a decision that was made lightly.  I received an older model singer last year  from LML's late grandmother.  It is a very simple yet reliable machine.  It is still loved and will continue to reside in my house to be my "back-up" machine.

I used that original machine to make a few major projects for my house.  My first curtains (our of drop clothes) for a guest bedroom and currently making my curtains for my living and dining rooms.  The curtains for the living and dining rooms need to be hemmed, then they are ready to hang.  I also made a few baby slings for friends who had children and I should never forget my first ever sewing project, the apron.

Up next in my project list, I plan to make the valences for the living and dining room windows.  I also want to go ahead and learn to make heirloom quality clothing prior to having kids of my own.

I also hope to make my sister-in-law a smocking travel caddy so that she can transport her smocking supplies in one handy container.
