New Hobby

Cyber Monday was my day to get online and find some great deals to start a new project. I've picked up sewing! And I really like it. It only makes sense right. I like clothes, I like buying clothes, I don't like to spend a bunch of money... So why not just make the things I would like to buy??

I started with little things like replacing a zipper and hemming a few things but now I want to put a whole piece of clothing together.

Not sure how many of my followers out there have a sewing machine or ever sewed anything by hand, but its kinda neat. I've been watching YT vids to get my knowledge. I mean that's where everyone goes right?? I found out I need a sewing machine (Check), I need thread (Semi-Check), and I need some determination (Check-Check). But I need patterns, more thread colors besides white and black and I host of other things. So thats where Cyber Monday came into play. I went on Joanns and few other sites to find some deals. I found a few, but not many. I used most of my time reading reviews and finding out what 6 different footers are for, which I just felt I had to have!

So I am very excited for the packages I am soon to receive. I'll talk more about the projects I plan to start later. Right now I have to "run" off to class. Not much running since im 28 weeks preggy :)  Adios!

Back Again

I know I know I do not post often enough but I haven't had much to talk about. I hardly paint my nails and my fashion sense hasn't been able to blossom as much. I don't want to spend a lot or think a lot into maternity clothes. I have other things to entertain me though. I have picked up sewing. I've been doing it off and on. I find little projects and finish them slowly. Like the last one I just finished, replacing a broken zipper on a winter coat. I watched some YT vids to understand the in's and out's of sewing on a zipper. I think I did a pretty good job. The only problem I had was one that was stated several times. My needle got too close to the zipper head and broke, TWICE. Mad and slightly pissed I kept on and got it done! I was so proud of myself! My daughter now has a another coat for the fall/winter. And just in time too... Michigan is about to start getting SNOW! Here it comes people. So let's get ready! I'm going out to get longjohns tomorrow!

HOW ARE YOU GETTING READY FOR THE SNOW?
