Many of you emailed or commented asking me what TYPE of sewing machine I received for Christmas and what books I bought to go with my machine and my sewing adventures! Well....here goes :
Sewing Machine : Baby Lock A-Line Series Sofia2 - it sews AND embroiders!
Books : (I think I honestly bought these because the covers were super cute...don't judge me.)
I received One-Yard Wonders and Bend The Rules Sewing in the mail yesterday! Out of the two....I must say that I am a lot more excited about One-Yard Wonders! There were so many cute projects in there and they don't seem too terribly complicated (but at the same time....I haven't tried to make anything yet!). Bend The Rules was a little more of a "teaching" type book. It went into more detail about how to do certain stitches and it's more beginner friendly!
I am thinking that a nice little dog bed might end up being my first REAL sewing task....I will keep you updated!
What books do you LOVE for sewing references?? I would love more advice and tips if you've got 'em! I am all ears!
HAPPY WEDNESDAY!
XOXO,
Hils

I wish I knew how to sew, I think it would be so fun! I'd love to see the dogbed when you're done!
Best of luck with the sewing darling!

I haven't found a sewing book yet that has worked for me. I got a sewing mating three Christmases ago and I jammed it within a day. It went into a closet and has been there ever since. Can't wait to hear if any of these work out!
Oh I wish I could sew but I really can't. Everyone laughs at me but it takes me forever to actually sew a button on a shirt. My sister-in-law and mom can sew awesome but I guess it skipped me and I got the cooking gene.
Oh and no judging here.99% of the time I choose a book by the cover!
Learning how to sew is a resolution of mine this year! Your machine sounds fabulous and those books are beautiful. (I buy books for the covers too sometimes- ha!) A dog bed would be such a great project- post pics if you do! :) xoxo
