I finally replaced my old, broken sewing machine last weekend. My new sewing machine (a BabyLock Crafter's Choice) is awesome. I definitely have some learning to do, but it is making sewing fun again.
The first real project I worked on was the curtains for Kasen's room, but I am still not done and no pictures have been taken - so that will have to wait. Instead here is my first finished project - an applique on a bib. I love small projects, this took about 30 minutes. Here it is:
How freaking cute right? I love the silly fabric I found too. Makes me think of a real bow tie. I wish I can gotten a picture of the little boy wearing it. We made anther one with an appliqued neck-tie in red gingham. A-DOR-ABLE. I really want to do a neck-tie one that is a thick stripe. Totally man tie on a baby bib.
My next step is to create a girl version. I am thinking some sort of necklace, but my applique skills are still developing, so I need one that is pretty simple. I will definitely take pictures of Kasen enjoying it.
In addition to the little projects, I just started a quilt class. The fabrics below were especially picked to go with Kasen's room (and other decor in the room). I am hoping the quilt and curtains finish around the same time - then I promise some photos.
