5 Reasons: I love my sewing machine


Over the summer my mom did a super nice thing and bought a sewing machine. It was originally for both of us to use but I ended up using it much more so we put it in my room where it has it's very own table. I haven't had any classes and would love to take some soon but for now I'm just learning as I go! I have named her Betsy!


Reason #5
All the scrap fabric I have can them be made into a patchwork purse!


Reason #4
I made a nifty macbook cover so I wouldn't have to buy one and because I like things 'just so'



Reason #3
I made a fun comforter and set of pillow shams for my bed as well as a Hannah Montana quilt for my niece Savanna's 8th birthday and started a quilt top for my niece Anais' 2nd birthday


Reason #2
I really enjoy unique Halloween costumes (if i see one more 'sexy nurse' this year i'll scream!) and along with betsy and 30 yards of tulle I'll be making the most epic Halloween costume yet. EPIC

Reason #1
I have always thought these patchwork quilts were THE BOMB! So I'm going to set that as my long term goal to make one of these. What I think will make it stellar is if I use that little old ladies sitting in a church basement quilting in a circle pattern but have colors like hot pink or deep purple, teal, zebra print, damansk, skulls, and glitter to make it truly me. I just think that would be a hoot =)
