I have been a busy bee all day.. I went round to my parents house at around 11 am as I wanted to start the master class with my mum!... She was going to teach me how to use my sewing machine.
To be honest I thought maybe a few hours... hmmm I got back home just after 6 pm! ha ha and its not finished yet!
I really had no clue as to how long it was going to take me... OMG!! Using a sewing machine and stitching straight ,lines!! Now I found that really tricky. But you know me I am not a quitter, I practiced on a few odd bits of material and gave it a go!
Here is my sewing machine..
I thought it was about time I got to know how to use it, seeing as I have had it now over 4 years!
And I bet your wondering what I made??
I will show you the photo but its not finished... I dont like where the buttons and handles are so I am going to move them.
Its my stitch I did the other day... from the Primitive Hare.... made into a stitching WIP bag. Its big enough to put what I am working on in it so I can stitch on the go!
Here it is...
OOoh yes I have to show you all the amazing buttons my mum has.. I was spoilt for choice...
I know where to go for buttons now! ha ah ha
Decided I needed a new ring tone for my phone seeing as the one I had is out of date... says my daughter! ha ha
This is my new ring tone now..
I love it.. very catchy! :)
I changed my bag very slightly.. I just was not happy with the handles so moved them...

I am much happier with this...
And yes look plenty of room to put my stitching projects in.. for when I have time to stitch else where... oh you know... hospital appointments, the bingo! and loads more places I have to go but get bored doing nothing... ha h aa no more as I can take my WIP in this lovely bag! :)
I found with my learning difficulties learning hands on was easier and my mum is a great teacher! Counting and measuring was hard but I just made sure I checked and double checked things. I am very proud of myself that I actually made this and how good it looks too! Sometimes I surprise myself! :)
I must say stitching this design was a real pleasure I really enjoyed it...
