Plait braclet

Another sewing machine experiment;

I must admit the craftmanship is not fantastic; partly due to it being a quick job and maybe also to do with the fact that I hacked the material with a pair of scissors that deffinitely weren't made for cutting fabric..

2 months blogging and a sewing machine

I've now been blogging 2 whole months. :D

Thank you very much to those who support me and the blog; the lovely people who follow me, and the nice people who comment, and anyone who's taking the time to read my ramblings.

Two days ago I got a shiny new sewing machine! *oh the excitement!*

I finally set it up today, which took longer than expected as the instructions made the whole threading thing seem far more complicated than it actually is... unless you're a complete first timer you might be better off using your instincts/ just threading the needle the normal way to save a whole lot of trouble.

I actually haven't sewn with a machine in a few years, so I'm glad I'm not a complete disaster at it! I came across a lovely blue polka dot material I'd once (badly) hand sewn a little purse from, and, inspired by Jennie at the lovely Clover and Violet blog (http://www.cloverandviolet.com/2009/09/shop-expansion-giveaway.html) I made this card holder, though I don't think it's nearly as well made!!
First day of lessons at college tomorrow! Starting with Fine Art. :)
