MY SEWING MACHINE

A few months ago, my grandma's sweet, loving sister Janet passed away. She was such an awesome person! She always had such nice things to say to brighten any day! A couple of weeks after she passed away, her twin sister (also sweet and loving!) called me with the offer of Janet's sewing maching. I was flattered that she thought of me...
Here is a little background on my sewing history:

• I was kicked out of Home Ec. in 8th grade.


• My senior year I recieved extra credit for sewing baby blankets for donation; all I did was pick out the fabric, and let my grandma do the rest!


• When I first started dating Travis I had the idea to tie quilts for him and for Dalton as Christmas present; all I did was pick out the fabric, and let my grandma do the rest (sorry, honey, it's true)!

So, even though I didn't plan to get a lot of use out of it, I was honored that Janet's machine would be mine. It sat in my hallway for about a month before I got it moved into my bedroom and set up. I had my grandma come over and teach me how to thread it, and I printed a pattern for "boppy covers" (nursing pillow slipcovers) off of the internet- the pattern printed on 12 normal sized papers and had to be cut and taped together. And ever since I started, I CAN'T STOP SEWING!

I had no idea that I would love it so much! I have made a new Boppy Cover almost every day (know anyone with a need for one?) and I also make burp cloths like I just can't get enough! I am attempting to sew "felt food" as Christmas present for the kiddos in my life, and I love every second I get with my sewing maching! WHO KNEW (definately not my eighth grade home economics teacher!)?
