Happy sewing

Do you have your pattern or do you use patterns like McCall's etc?

I have fabric to make some belly bands later....But I wanted to get comfortable making vests before I changed to the belly bands...They do not look too difficult...(I hope..lol)

I made my own pattern tracing one of the vests I had already bought....I have four different styles of vests....And I started with the one that looked the easiest....

Thank You...When I went fabric shopping...I could not get over how many BOY prints they had....There are tons of them....So I got really excited....All I need are matching leashes and I know who does that and matching bows and there are great bow makers on YT....Then they are set....

I have been wanting a sewing machine too, but I don't even know where to start... I know the how to sew *basics*, but when I went to look at machines there was just a huge selection, wide price range, and so many features. Is an eighty dollar machine good enough? I also would like to sew things like pillows and curtains, maybe pajamas for my human kids as well as Pippa....

We went to Sears in the mall...I got a nice basic Kenmore for $79.99...It does everything I think I will ever need and then some....And the instructions were soooo user friendly.....I love it!!!!

When hubby gets home from his trip, we are going to look for a table to set up in the front bedroom....
