Chuchu

Well well well! So my mom has been wanting to buy a new sewing machine ever since we put the old one wherever we can’t find it anymore. So a few days ago while we were out shopping we saw a nice “Singer” sewing machine. We hesitated buying and had dad bring it after he was done working.

A day later I unpacked it – tore apart clothes we recently threw away but had neat fabric and then tried to figure out how it works but I quickly had to realize I had NO idea how this thing works. I put the thread into the most impossible places and didnt know how to connect my thread to the needle lol!
I already had planned to make a little doll of my shepards Mass Effect Shepard drawing. Well stupid me! I had the needed fabrics but the knowledge of connecting them? nope! So I got angry, packed everything up and left to play Mass Effect.

A few hours later my mom came downstairs and asked me to come tot he kitchen. She already had the sewing machine unpacked again. She asked me to get her some fabric so I got all my felt stuff and an old tablecloth. Mom was a little aggrivated but it worked out fine. She set everything up with me and we studied the manual. She used to sew a lot so she figured it out quickly. So she started to try out all kinds of things the machine can do and the normal stitches. Then she showed me and left to get something. While she was gone I managed to get 5 threads out fo the machine and everything was stuck. Not really how I planned it. My mistake was I didnt let the head down onto my fabric wich mom had to teach me lol ~ Oh me! Well then I learned how to seam.

Getting forward in Baby steps I packed out my felt and and wanted to MAKE something rather than destroy stuff. I made a decorational inner frame on a regular rectangle shaped felt piece. Then I wanted to learn how to sew things ontop of it. Quickly I got the idea to put another felt piece shaped as a flower ontop. While I had mom cut out my flower design I got to practise with old felt parts onto another felt piece. Straight lines were easy but gosh my trial curvy piece turned out awful! The stitches were everywhere else just not sewing my pieces onto the other haha! So I bravely stopped practising and jumped onto my flower! It was fine, I did it slowly and carefully but forgot to suture the beginning haha. I’m so mindless and keep forgetting to do that! But ok, my curvy stitching was fine, not perfect on all places but I was still pretty proud of it!

I filled the inside of the flower with small fleece parts so it stands out a little. I had mom draw more different colored flowers and cut them out while I did the first one and she drew some really freaky looking ones haha. I needed to edit those so they didnt look like people on street signs. Then shortly after I got to do the second flower! I sewed it so it layered a little over the first flower.  I was happy with the outcome and it went a lot faster! The third flower was also a cake and quickly I finished my very first miniature tablecloth!

I hope I wasn’t too detailed! Ill make sure to keep posting my sewing adventures on here haha!
