Quote From: izeofpainLOL @ saving those small scraps of material, I so understand that, my gramma does it all the time. My mom used to but she has pretty much stopped sewing. My gramma does it all the time, sewing curtains for everyone. I did sew a lounge dress for me just to be around the house in. I think it turned out pretty good, but I had tons of help.
I have wanted to try scrapbooking, and I want to try just making some stuff. I need to invest in a sewing machine, and ohh, a friend has an embroidery machine, that looks fun. I see soo much that looks fun, but I need to learn patience with it.
Its a web site where people give things away. freecycle.com then type in your town and state. I know it's here stateside and I've got a lot of free stuff and given a lot away. I just got a Sears cartop carrier for our Thanksgiving vacation. I know there have been sewing machines given away here so give it a try. Also ask for scrapping supplies. So many people want to recycle things they don't use anymore.
I'm going to my friends to sew today, she has a great big studio and we have a blast. I did get my sewing room half done yesterday so I feel good about that. My husband never finished the roofing so we had a leak that made a mess on the floor so I needed to get that all cleaned up. I fixed the roof in a snow storm before Thanksgiving.
Just find something that you really want to do and go for it. You will feel so much better because of it. I just got some paint by number sets and I'm looking forward to starting them just for fun.
The ornaments sound so cute. I have an embroidery machine too, but haven't used it much. When we get our inventory done I'm going to get it out.
Have a great day.....ggma
