I'm (long-term) borrowing my mum's sewing machine to do some wedding decorations, and I've been itching to get started on some other sewing projects as well. I think my mum must've tried about a hundred times when I was young to teach me to sew, but I never could find the patience to complete the things I started (namely because some problem or other happened that I couldn't work out, like the entire fabric got jammed and broke the needle, twisted the thread into a knot and made the smooth ends all jagged).
But I think (at least I hope) that my patience and willingness to persevere have improved somewhat over the years, and that tackling the sewing machine now will be a whole nother story.
I stumbled across Burda's web site and they have a tutorial on how to get started - read it
here.
So my goal this weekend is to befriend the sewing machine and maybe end up with something finished! Like these drawstring bags?
