It all started when I found this Brother Sewing Machine on amazon for $75 bones. I've never particularly liked sewing, in fact I've flat out refused to sew anything even when my friend Lydia insisted on dragging me to the fabric store when we were both pregnant so that she could make pillows for her couch. We were both in full throttle nesting mode, and I vehemently insisted that my instinct did not instruct me to sew. I just wanted to organize, and organize...and organize...and shop! My credit card sure got some miles on it when I was pregnant. Actually, It's still seeing quite a bit of action these days with a growing toddler who NEEDS to have so many things...like these $30 old fashioned blocks. This same toddler is the reason I bought the sewing machine. She HAS to have one of these pillow case dresses, don't you think?!
So take one new sewing machine and add Pinterest to that and you get a Dino Tail worthy of a 3rd birthday present. I'll be making one for the Little Bird soon because, well, she just needs one of everything!

Love it!! How cute :) I too have just gotten into sewing. I took my mom's ancient singer (pure metal - must weigh 30lbs) to Portland. I already have sewn 3 pillow covers. I like shopping for fabric on line. Keep going!
ReplyDeleteJa know...I have an ancient metal sewing machine that was my moms a long time ago. I was afraid of it. It is soooo heavy. I don't even know if it works! Did you have to service yours?
