I'm in the middle of my first sewing project! While I've never done more than sewing up holes in various clothing items, I decided to try something new. I picked up some pretty fabric at Hancock Fabrics along with a bit of fun trim and will be magically turning it in to (drum roll, please) a table cloth!
Ok, I know it's not as exciting as say a dress, but baby steps, people! Plus, it's completely appropriate as I have a dinner party planned for Saturday night and need something to hide the fact that my 6-person table is actually two 4-person tables pushed together.
Since I didn't want to hand sew this little diddy and I didn't want to buy an expensive, albeit ideal, full-size sewing machine I grabbed this Singer Handy Stitch at Target for $14.99. While it's not the best for big projects (or even medium ones) it's perfect for the beginner sewer, aka ME!
I'm nearly finished, but Saturday will tell the final tale. Stay tuned.
(Next stop, CURTAINS!)
