Yesterday I decided to start making some of the Home Ec projects. I have fallen WAY behind with this class so I wanted to make up for the lost time. I didn't make much, since I don't have many supplies yet, but I really enjoyed it. Sewing has become my New Love!
I've started with the first Bonus project,
a Pillow Pin Cushion.
I've used scraps of different fabrics that I had around.
It turned out really good, although one of the fabrics that I've used wasn't of such a good quality so it ripped out during the process of filling it in. Fortunately, I've managed to sew it better and didn't have to start all over again.
The second project was a Gift Pouch.
I've used (once more) a kitchen hand towel.
Once again, a little mistake. I haven't read the instructions all the way, so I've missed the part that was saying "don't sew ALL along the way", and I've ended up with no opening for inserting the cord. I had to rip again a small part. Plus, I've made the top part too narrow. Oh, well, that's what this Class is all about, learn how to sew and learn from your mistakes. And I've made MANY so far! So, I believe I'm learning! hahahaha
What about you?
Have you made anything lately?
Haha, I've had some problems like that before. you'll learn. ;)

ReplyDeleteGreat job! I wish I had some more time for Home Ec! I'm glad you're enjoying sewing so much.
ReplyDelete@katiebug Hahaha I hope eventually I'll learn. It doesn't seem so difficult after all. i just have to pay ATTENTION. I'm working on it. I'd love to see your creations!
ReplyDelete@hearthandmade I know the feeling. Everyone must think we are crazy or something... talking to ourselves and cursing on a machine. hahahaha
@emily b Thank you so much! I'm trying to improving every day. I'm enjoying sewing so much but I wish I had more time (and supplies) to complete all the projects. I have to go out and buy some soon.
Πολύ καλές και οι δύο κατασκευούλες!Έκανες πολύ καλή επιλογή υφασμάτων!
ReplyDeleteΩωωω, σ'ευχαριστώ πάρα πολύ! Προσπαθώ προς το παρόν να χρησιμοποιώ ότι έχω χωρίς να χρειάζεται να ξοδέψω καθόλου χρήματα. Πάντως έχει αρχίσει να μου αρέσει πολύ το ράψιμο!
ReplyDeleteόλα είναι καταπληκτικά! Τα υφάσματα είναι πολύ ωράια.
ReplyDeleteΧίλια μπράβο!!! Μην το παρατήσεις!
Πέρνα απο το μπλογκοσπιτάκι μου και άρπαξε το βραβείο φιλίας!
Είναι και για σένα!
