...bought me a sewing machine for my birthday…so onward with this goal…yay!!!
creativekitty BACK ON 43THINGS!!!
Today I used a bamboo stick and cut it up to make some feet for my dressmakers dummy stand! I bought the dummy cheap off ebay because it had no feet and could only be used on a table top. For a time I thought what on earth I’m I going to do to make some feet for this thing?! And it came to me today.
Now I can stand it up properly and I’m really pleased! Now all I need is some fabric and I’d also like to purchase a really easy pattern, and then I shall have a proper go at making my own clothes! First though, This week I’m going to have a go at making a yoga mat bag for my pilates mat :)
Readytobehappy went out and had a fantastic, eventful night! :D
I think this is a really good skill to have. I’d like to be a little bit housewifey (I’m terrible at being domesticated!). I’d really like to be able to make my own clothes. The only thing is sewing machines scare me :/ but I suppose I’ll just have to get over it!

My local ACE program has a sewing class for beginners. I’ll have to wait until next year because I am taking Spanish this year.
I know how to quilt and have basic sewing skills. I want to learn how to be a proper dressmaker and seamstress.
My Mum called me yesterday to ask if I wanted a sewing machine, I told her I can’t sew yet but it’s on my list, so she has kept it for me which is good :)
It has taken a long time to work on this goal, but it is worth completing someday soon.
I always have to hem my pants, and I have been taking pants to be altered, which adds to the cost of the purchase, so if I can learn how to sew it will save me a lot of money.
I think that there maybe some sewing classes in my area so I’ll have to enquiry.
eightofeight is clearing her mind, heart soul and life of clutter, little by little
and took my first last week. I have a month’s worth coming up and I can’t wait. I actually made something on my first day.
I have some sewing experience, but I would really like to learn how to sew clothing and it actually look decent.
