I promised to show you the things I've made with my new sewing machine, and now that I have given out my gifts, I can show you.
The biggest thing was figuring out what to do with all these fabric books. I made two sets of reversible placemats for my mom and sister.
These were for my sister and were actually pre-sewing machine.
These were for my mom and were my first real project on the sewing machine.
For my sister and niece, I made a wipes holder and a diaper changing pad. See links for the directions. I also made these for a baby shower.
This weekend I completed a camera strap cover with some scraps, and I'm trying to finish another placemat project.
I've been pretty pleased with how things have turned out. I don't sew very straight, so inside-out seams are my friend, but I think I'm getting better. I've also learned you can find anything through Google and YouTube. I never would have figured out bias tape without this video (note: I did pin mine).
I'm already dreaming of making baby dresses and floor pillows. I'll let you know how it goes.
