Bitchin Sewing Machine

When it comes to getting me things from Costco, my boy Manny has it down. I got my new Brother XR-7700 sewing machine last week. I almost love it as much as my laptop. (sorry laptop…no, really, it’s you that i love…shhhhh)

I can’t really sit at it too long with my gimpy back, but I’m gonna set it up high and sew at it standing up. Cause that’s how I roll. X-treme sewing.

This is the skirt I made last week – it’s from an Amy Butler pattern, Barcelona Skirts. It’s a great pattern, very easy to follow. It has these raw-edged layers, lined, with a invisible zipper. Sort of a de-constructed, would cost $150 at Anthropologie type skirt.

Dingle-ball cherry curtains

My friend Linda gave me some cute cherry fabric so I made curtains for the kitchen. I also used my favorite craft trim: dingle balls (actually they’re called pom-poms but who cares).

First Post

So, I’m gonna write about things like craftiness, sewing, my boys, family stuff, school (mine and my kids), music, movies, food, legos, sneakers, and your mom.
