My new hobby.


Yesterday I bought a sewing machine. Today I made this. I plan to make more. I found the instructions here.

  1. I love it! Where did you learn to sew? I have a little sewing machine but I have no idea how to thread it so as soon as it runs out of thread I'm screwed.

    Also, I tried to follow the instructions on that page but I got confused. Man I'm so jealous! I want those pillows!

  2. I learned to sew b/c my dad runs a custom canvas business. But even though I grew up sewing, threading my new machine was daunting. I just followed the instruction manual, though, and it was pretty easy.

  4. Ooo. Will you be bummed if I make one, too? I am making a quilt (my first) for Aubrey's bed, and have been stewing over pillow ideas. This would be great!

  5. Of course not! Just make sure you post pictures of yours, too. :)

  6. Also, you should know, that I did an envelope back rather than the back recommended on the instructions. Which may have made it easier, or harder, I'm not sure.

  8. hahaha!!!
    you are _so_cool_!!!!
    I love my sewing machine, tho I really don't know how to use it all that well (and have a stronger tendency to do things like sew paper or make weird little obscene fabric creatures than do anything nice and functional).
    I LOVE your cushion!
