I am so excited right now. I just got back from my first sewing class. I learned so much. It was a small class of 6 and a ton of different style personalities. We made a pillow case. My pattern was very simple, but alot of the ladies had very intriqute cotton fabrics. Until my next class my family may be getting pillow cases in the mail. They were so simple and it came out very beautiful. I could not believe that I made one.
I can make pillow cases for pennies.........They taught me tricks to buying fabrics too. I cannot wait until my next class. But to save money I will wait until the classes go 50% off. I should have bought my next class when I signed up for this one but I didn't know I would enjoy it this much.
I know the pics are upside down, that is what I get for taking them with my iphone. But the first set of pillows were the ones that I made before the class and now I know what I did wrong, the second is the pillow case that I made tonight. I just love it and so did Jimmy. He asked me to make another. I just used some fabric that I had here laying around. I know some of the things I will probably do wrong on my own but that is what practing is for. I made my top pillows for $3.40 each and that included stuffing. and the only thing I had to buy for my pillow case was the blue fabric and that was $1.69.
Sewing is going to save me money. I am going to have to invest a little bit at first but in the long run it will pay off.
