Yes, I am sure that is a strange thing to hear from me. I had a hand-me down sewing machine and I have been making some new things recently. So I got a new one the other day. This is the one I got.

I am so very excited about it. I made this lovely creation with it shortly after I got it home!

Take note of the button hole and button! That is a wonderful feature that this machine has. I am so excited to try all the fun stitches it has. I am going to add buttons to some of the purses I have made in the past.

This is another creation I have recently done (not on the new sewing machine).

I found a pattern for this ribbon purse in a magazine. When I made it, it was really small, so Chuck’s mom helped me make the pattern larger and this is what I created. I have seen simiar purses to this in stores made of seatbelt material. But they are expensive….Now I see why after making one. They take a long time with all the ribbons. It’s not extremely complicated, just time consuming.

I am hoping to sell purses on SimplyWhimsical.com in the near future. So this new machine will help immensely.

On a side note…After my grandma passed away, I kept some of her old jewelry. I have been using some of the beads from some of her things and creating new items. I have made a few pairs of earrings so far. I like that I am giving a new life to her things. And when I like wearing something that was hers.
