Monday was SEW fun.


While I was out in Fort Collins, CO this summer I bought a sewing machine at a flea market for $19 with HIGH hopes that I would learn: A. How to use the machine & B. how to make fun pillows/anything else. So, last night was the culmination of this dream(with a little help).

Below is the sewing machine that I couldn't figure out for the life of me how to use. I even watched random YouTube videos people made on how to use a sewing machine. When that didn't work Kristin and Matt went to work on it.



thinking...



Then they got it to work! Praises!


With a little more help from Kristin I was on my way to making my first pillow!







Yay for pillows! I'm going to use these to add a little color to our bedroom! And, it was so inexpensive to make!
