I will also be sort of testing out new stuff on my swap partner! Hope they love what I'm doing.

Re: APR-JUN: Big Swap!
I'm considering pulling out my wife's sewing machine... I've never used a sewing machine. This could be very interesting.

Re: APR-JUN: Big Swap!
don't be afraid, it's pretty self explanitory for sewing easy stuff on a machine.. just don't forget to start and end your sewing with backstitches! (which are where you go backwards to sew back over the stitches.. it locks them in place =D)Philpepe wrote:I'm considering pulling out my wife's sewing machine... I've never used a sewing machine.

Re: APR-JUN: Big Swap!
Also - my hubby used my sewing machine like a racer - he thinks its a case of the faster the better 
NOT THE CASE!!!!! 
Go slow for nice neat stitches!

Re: APR-JUN: Big Swap!
Oh I hate when that happens! I have started ordering supplies for my project, they are gonna cost a little bit more than normal, so I am spacing my orders out between 2 paychecks. I also want to make 1 other thing, but I am having a hard time coming up with ideas! (Actually I have too many ideas, that's the problem!shanoa wrote:Oh blargh!

Re: APR-JUN: Big Swap!
I finally got my own sewing machine for my anniversary, so one of the things that my partner is getting is something that I've been wanting to make for myself! I've also never made one, so I'm trying something new too. Wouldn't it be funny (kinda) if we all made stuff that just fell apart?
