Last weekend I finally got a new sewing machine! I have been looking and researching about them for a while and with the help of my teacher, I made the decision. I went with a Brother, it is a great machine for beginners, 80 built in stitches and it even does small monograming. This Thursday in class I will be ready to sew Reagan's first outfit together. I wanted to have the instructor help me with my own machine rather than class machines, that way I new what to do when I am at home working. Here is the pattern and fabric I chose as my first project. I have serged all sides and just need to sew it together! (note: There will be black sleeves and ruffles on the pants and on the bottom of the shirt)
I am really excited! I have already ordered 5 other fabrics online that I want to work with next. I am starting to think about Christmas ideas so I am ordering fabrics to make her Christmas outfits. At the rate I am going she will have an outfit for everyday in December! I love Christmas time, it is such a fun holiday and there are so many events that take place. Here are a few of the fabrics that I have ordered.
Anyways, here is my new machine. I am trying to remember I still have other things to do and take care of. It seems like all I think about is fabrics, appliques and outfits! I am afraid Reagan might have a little competition. Before she had my undivided attention, now that there is a new brother in the house, she might get a little jealous!

How cute! I just got a sewing machine also and all I can think about is which room I want to make curtains for first! I need to sign up for a class... I want to learn how to make ruffles. I can't wait to see all of Reagan's precious Christmas outfits.
