Are you in the market for a long denim skirt?
Are you into homemade things?
Do you like to have fun funky things to wear?
If your answer to any of the questions above is yes...well...be prepared!
I have a new sewing machine. (my dad is awesome, he got it for me for my birthday). And after a few nights of help from Jason (very manly, I know), I learned how to use it myself...YAY!
THEN a lady at church came into town for the kids program, and was telling a bunch of mom's (and myself, since I am not a mom) how to turn a pair of blue jeans into a long skirt. She explained it....I asked a few questions.....then went home and practiced.
Below is my very first completed sewing project, and my very first clothing item to make.....but....get ready, I may open an etsy shop to sell them online. I know that a lot of people at church are wanting to buy some from me, and I have a few people who want me to teach them....I am still new to it, and if you look cloesly at the completed peice, you can see TONS of mistakes (I need to learn to hem things better....and sew through thick denim) but I will get this perfected, and I will be successful.

looks perfect to me! Great job. One thing for denim is the right needle I think you need a 16 gage needle and they have denim thread that will help to hold up. I haven't did any sewing with denim yet. I have been busy making quilts and having fun with the embroidery part of my machine. Sewing is so much fun and at least for me addicting.
that is good! hey when can you come over and help me? I would like to learn to sew, my aunt is going to teach me but she lives in keller and I don't feel like going there right now.....
