I, however, am DEATHLY AFRAID OF MY SEWING MACHINE! We have a love-hate relationship...mostly hate on my end and I think the machine's love part is probably that it loves seeing me so frustrated with it. My mom was a great seamstress. She could do anything with a machine. She made clothes, coats, drapes, tablecloths, all kinds of crafts. I just knew when I grew up I would be like her. Didn't happen. I have had my sewing machine about 25 years...I got it shortly after my son was born and I was home on maternity leave. I just knew I would learn how to sew all kinds of stuff while I was home with him. I never did learn to sew from a pattern well...but I did make some curtains and some crafts...but mostly I was just plain scared of the machine. It always seems to be possessed...had a mind of it's own and our minds were never on the same page.
But every now and then I pull out said machine and see if I can tame the monster. Nope....I still haven't tamed it but I did do a little sewing tonight on a few cards. I'll post one tonight and the other tomorrow:
Probably need to increase the tension a little but I'm afraid to do anything like that because the monster will certainly retaliate!
Happy Crafting!
Funny or not perhaps but I have a hate/frustrated relationship with my sewing machine or any sewing machine I've ever tried to use. Had mine for longgggggggg time. Have made a pair of shorts when I took a sewing class but cannot repeat what I did since I did not understand what to do exactly. Your card is wonderful with the stitching.
ReplyDeleteDon't be afraid of the machine!!! Your card looks great with the sewing on it! Even if sometimes the sewing doesn't go perfectly or straight just tell yourself you wanted it to look that way (gives it a distressed look and more interest right?) Have fun with it! :)Amy
