I’ve taken some time to do some homemaker projects with the sewing machine my mom gave me.  I haven’t sewn much in a long time.  I had a couple machines people gave me and none of them seemed to work quite right, or it could very well have been user error!! My mom gave me one that’s pretty easy to use; the newer models seem to have fewer knobs, for instance, that have to do with tension settings which I think was where my problem was.  Anyway, I managed to do a few small projects.

Among them, I figured the first might be to make a cloth cover for my sewing machine since if I was going to do projects, it might get left out in the living room. I though this would help it hide away and look fashionable if someone did happen to notice it!  I did some searching online.  You can pretty much make one by measuring the dimensions of your machine. I found this on a blog called Spool Sewing, and I made some embellishment changes from the ones they did, using some cording; I added this part just to make it even more difficult. Ha! Anyway I had had this fabric for ages, and glad to finally use it somewhere it will be seen!

Then I ventured on to some smaller projects that I may post about in a different post.  Then I tried out kid’s clothing!   (more…)
