First sewing project

in

I haven't sewn anything in years and years, but there are various projects I've been thinking about lately: tote bags, wallets, simple skirts, and (ultimately) curtains. Last week, I bought a sewing machine, and once I got the hang of how the machine basically works, I hit Goodwill for some fabric and picked up a beginner's book.


For my first project, I picked something absurdly simple: napkins. I know, not very exciting, but it was good practice measuring fabric, hemming, and then replicating it. (Not to mention threading the machine and figuring out what the bobbin does.) Next, I'll have to focus on sewing straight lines.





And, of course, Mr. Bunny wasted no time deciding this is all an exercise for his benefit. Maybe I'll prove him right and make him a cat bed.
