I'm sooooooooooooooo excited,I made my first ever stitched card,with my new sewing machine!!!!!!!!!I feel like I have conquered something huge,as some of you know,I was desperate for a sewing machine for ages,but was terrified of them (still am,but it's getting better!!!).
I had a few probs,then my Mum came round & the only thing I had been doing wrong was threading the needle from back to front,DOH!!!
My Mum sat with me for a few tries & said I had done great & she luved my lil machine (Mum only buys very good quality machines herself!!!).
My machine was £29.99 from instore (was Poundstretchers) & runs from either batteries or mains.I use mains & it is great,it has 8 diff stitches & is quite powerful,so I'm happy,happy,happy!!!!
Ok, on to my card!!! The image is a download from Pollycraft called "Patchwork Elephants",coloured with Distress Inks,paper is Laura Ashley (this just screams "SEW ME"),stars are Quickutz,eyelets set with Cropadile.Stitching by ME!!!! ;O)
This card is for this weeks Cupcake challenge,following their sketch.
Thanx for looking & listening to me babbling on with excitement!!!! :o)xxx
