Homemade/My 1st Sewing Project

A few weeks ago I told you about my new sewing machine! Well........I sewed something for the 1st time since I was ooooh I don't know maybe 12!!!!!!!!
Thanks to my Grandma for teaching me the basics-Got to ask you though...."HOW THE HECK TO YOU THREAD THE MACHINE?" you must have great eye sight!!!!
And a special thanks to my husband for not only buying the machine for me but cleaning out a space for me to create this wonderful masterpiece!!!
Here is my craft room (for the time being)



and here is proof of the countless hours I spent trying to thread bobbin and the machine. I spent so much time trying to get it right-I finally just gave up and went to bed and tackled the project in the morning.





Here is the finished project: A Chicago Bears Blanket for Nicholas!
All of his blankets are so small and I wanted him to have something he could use well into his toddler years!








I know....I know....sewing 2 pieces of fabric together doesn't sound so hard and I hate to tell you....it's not hard. Not at all. The hard part is getting the sewing machine ready! LOL!!!

Nick Enjoying His New Blanket:

Nick: "What is it?"

"Oh it's a Blanket?"

"A Chicago Bears Blanket?"

"AWE-SOME!"

"Can we cuddle now? I will share!!!"
