I'm happy to announce that I have finished my 1st sewing project! I really enjoyed the sewing class and the machine worked great (thanks Great Grandma Jean!). My pillowcase turned out beautifully even though I did find my perfectionist personality challenged at several steps.
Teresa and I were part of the 6 person crew that took this session of Adult Sewing Class at A Scarlet Thread. She laughed to see she was the "oldest" one taking the class while the other girls there fought over who was the youngest. Our teacher Laurie was well versed in teaching sewing and had the patience of a saint as we broke needles, jammed the machines, and found we came unprepared with things like thread and the correct bobbins. In the end, it only took 6 hours from "meet and greet" our machine to a finished pillowcase. At the end of the class I laughed at how all of us were so thrilled and shocked that we actually produced something that was both functional and cute!
Here's a close-up of my case. The pattern was really fun with this extra piece of fabric that adds a flap near the case and edge seam.
Here's Teresa's beautiful case and a close-up of her fun flap pattern and seam.
Oh, I am so excited to start more projects now! I have a few lined up, so stay tuned for more sewing updates. The dining room has already been turned into a sewing lounge! :)
