A Little Sewing Project (Sneak Peek)

     I have had an idea for a sewing project that I've been wanting to try, so I finally started it this  week.  Below are just a few sneak peek photos, because I don't want to give too much away before the project is complete.  

     If I had written this blog earlier in the week it would not have been as positive.  I was having a real hard time with my sewing machine.  It was not going very smoothly, I had to continually stop, rethread the needle, go a little bit, stop again.  It was very frustrating.  I also was not doing very well with curves/turns on the sewing machine.  The first few attempts were not very impressive!

Before:

     But, I am happy to say that I have figured out the problem and tonight was much more successful.  The problem was I needed new sewing needles. The old ones were too worn out.  So, I bought some new ones, fixed the thread tension and it made a huge difference!  I was able to complete two parts of the project in much less time and they looked better than my original designs!  I am getting really good at maneuvering the fabric, so that the curves look more polished!  I am halfway done, and will share the completed project soon!
