So here is my new sewing machine! I have really enjoyed trying it out but have not exactly had the best of luck so far. Well, I have made one pillow and that went pretty well. But I have a problem with cutting the fabric straight and sewing the stitch straight once I am going. I am going to go sewing class starting in January so that should be very helpful. I think I was feeling a little over confident the other night when I wanted to try a pillow with some piping around the edge. I got the piping and was putting it in but I couldn't really get the seam close enough to the edge of the piping. I didn't think it was too bad but then I went to sew the back to the front and I got half way around the pillow when I noticed that the last edge was about two inches too short! They were the right size to begin with but somewhere in all my sewing, I got the edges messed up! I gave up that pillow for the day, partially because I was sick and I couldn't think any more and partially because I was mad that I couldn't do it right. But I think I just need to take my lessons and then things will be better! and like my Steph was telling me, you gotta start somewhere and it is good to make mistakes and learn from them! So that is what I am going to be doing, a lot of learning from my mistakes.
