It was an amazing weekend! Well, only after I was able to fix my sewing machine. My new sewing machine, which I received as a Christmas present from my dear mother came up with a lovely error code during my second project, it would not sew. I’ve not been able to fix my sewing machines before, I have a broken one in a closet (reason why mom generously bought me a new one) and a kid size one I bought for my girls is also broken, both broken by the children who want to learn but act like they’re toys.
Well, I could not let my new sewing machine go to the closet, broken, so I went to YouTube university and couldn’t find any info on my particular machine but watched a great video on how to fix this error on a similar machine. I had another problem, I had to open the sewing machine, something I’ve never done before, I’ve never even oiled my machines! There was no help so I had to teach myself! Needless to say, I felt like a sewing machine superheroine and now, I intend to fix my old machine and perhaps, even my children’s machine. The weekend took a turn for the best after I was sewing again!
7 Easy sewing pojects in 1 weekend
Of course I have told you that I like fast projects and these are all fast projects except the fixing of the sewing machine took me two days, not all day… I was pretty much crying LOL, I had to take breaks but I fixed it on the second day, so most of these projects were finished in one day.
I have more projects that I want to work on, one being another magical item for myself, a purple skirt (OMG I have not talked to you about my magical yellow dress), also 3 matching bags (that match my new fav tote) for my daughters, my youngest girl asked for a shirt, I want to make something yellow for my baby matching my beloved dress, and I have more awesome fabric I want to use before March. My birthday is in March, and as a birthday present I always buy lots of arts and crafts materials and typically, many of them last me the year and many of this awesome fabrics are from last March.
Dear reader, I do craft much more than I post on this blog and I have lots of newly made items I have not shared with you. See the list of things below that I need to picture and share:
- 4 throw pillows
- 1 floor poof
- 1 t-shirt yarn crochet mini rug
- 2 adorable plarn crochet baskets
- More hats and scarves that I’ve made for my children
- I decided to learn macrame and learn easy ways on YouTube University to wrap heart crystals one for me and one for each of my daughters. I learned how to make a sliding knot for jewelry which is the most exciting part!
- 4 decorated storage boxes for my nursery, I love to look at them already full of baby diapers and baby little clothes. This is all I can remember for now, I’m sure there’s more…
How’s your creativity keeping you busy friend?
Thanks for visiting,
