Sew about time

I finally did it! I learned to sew. I bought the scallop dig for the Big shot because i wanted to make the rag quilt purse ....well this meant i needed to learn to use a sewing machine. Hmmm there are plenty of people in my life that would have been more than willing to show me. I went about the rachel way though. I went to a friends and she showed me wind the bobbin, thread the needle and I called my neighbor,craft buddy on my way home and asked if she had an extra sewing machine i could borrow. Of course....she has everything and most times more than one. She even had a wheelchair that we borrowed to decorate my boss' office for his 40th...i digress. I got the machine home ..1978 singer. and forgot everything that i had just learned...pulled out the book and played.
Here is my 1st attempt at the rag quilt purse..need to add the handles. Will do that tomorrow.

Here is the sewing machine and my workspace i have set up..what was my craft corner has turned into my craft corner's no complaints yet but hubby has been to music stores quite a bit lately.. i am sure a purchase is in order soon.
The cart has all my jewelry making stuff. I has been beading lately too will update you on that too


For now i will go...thanks for stopping by. Beijos.rachel
