So my wonderful hubby had brought home a sewing machine from Walmart and man I was so excited to get the actual opportunity to sew. I got straight into the car and went fabric shopping so I could come home and experiment with them, and I had found that it wasn&#8217;t as easy as I had thought it would be and being the perfectionist I seem to be I wanted all my work to be precise.<\/p>\n<p>I went to an Arts &amp; Crafts store nearby to purchase a book called &#8220;Sewing for Dummies.&#8221; Of course the first piece I tried to work on was the easiest, a simple bed pillow and it came out surprisingly nice. I kept on with sewing the simplest things until I felt I was ready for something a little more challenging. I had found a page where it teaches you how to make something called a quillow, it seemed to be trickier then anything I did before, but I gave it a shot. It took me quit a few times to put one together decently. I do believe I have found my new hobby that I enjoy so very much, and I&#8217;m hoping that if I become good enough with it, then I could start selling them for extra cash\u00a0or even give them away for birthdays and Christmas&#8217;s to other family members. I am so excited to learn so many more new things and get to gain knowledge on this sewing machine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I had expressed an interest in sewing to my husband and had told him I wanted to get a sewing machine so I could learn some techniques in creating some beautiful home piece&#8217;s such as pillows, blankets, throws, curtains or even clothes I became a pro at it.
