Sew Silly!

By Nicole | June 5, 2008

Pardon the really bad pun! So for years I have totally been in love with the look of sewn pages and elements. Years ago a tiny pink sewing machine was marketed to the crafter and I bought it. It didn’t work. I got frustrated and decided that if I was going to sew on my layouts it would have to be by hand. So that’s what I’ve done mostly.

Until now.

Mike is an expert at our full-sized sewing machine, and while I can use it, I am clumsy at best. So today is the day that I am getting it out and really working with it until I can perfect it. I am determined. Wish me luck. I’m going in. Oh, and if you don’t hear from me for awhile, I probably sewed myself to the machine. LOL

I’ll post the finished products later this afternoon if I think of it.

    Everytime I see a page with stitches, I feel like running out to buy a sewing machine. I’ve heard you need to buy one that will sew on paper. Please show me some projects you have sewn on. Good night
