It is known within my household that the sewing machine and I should not be left alone......we fight.......I curse.......the machine malfunctions.......it is never pretty......
But then one day (this past week) we made peace:
But then one day (this past week) we made peace:
Nieces and friends were in in need of birthday presents.
Maya takes credit for all the wee animal faces......we had a hard time making them look happy!!
Yes there are some imperfections in my machine sewing but hey....nothing broke and I remained calm...that's the important thing!
It has to be said that I had a major helping hand with this super user-friendly sewing book (discovered when reading this post of Kat's)
......when it comes to needle and thread I need it all spelled out in the most simple terminology.......I literally haven't a clue.....but after this positive experience I can almost imagine a sewing corner filled with beautiful fabric like this one

it is definately cute, i am glad that you and your machine made peace long enough to get some crafting done!
well done! felix will be after me if I show him what you and Maya have made. l love the cute faces, even if they're not smiling!
Wow, Molly is going to adore her new pencil case, it's so cute and so personalised. I don't think there will be any doubt in anyone's mind that this pencil case belongs to Molly! Thank you so much Gudrun and Maya - I think you guys should join forces more often on the sewing machine after seeing these little gems.
good for you! what sweet little pretties you've made. i love the animal faces.
So cute!! Reminds me of my first embroidery project, a little pillow with a puppy on it. I concentrated so hard that it read "RUPPY," whoops.
I'm the same with my machine...it hates me right back! I do love Japanese sewing magazines/books...they don't overwhelm you with information, just lots of simple and lovely inspiration/illustration!
Cute stuff :)
Well done! Really cute stuff- and sewing can be so much fun!
Oh my goodness, how cute are those?! You and your sewing machine have made peace indeed!
