I have always wanted to be able to sew. It's an incredibly useful skill, but also one that allows for so much creativity. My mom can sew, and she was able to make these curtains for my apartment:
She also made lots of my clothes when I was little, because I was rather picky and opinionated about what I wore...Anyway, after years of wishing I could sew but thinking the whole deal was too complicated, I decided to ask for a sewing machine for Christmas. I've been researching, and thought that the Bernina Bernette 65 was going to be a good beginner sewing machine, but also one with enough features that I can use it when I get better and want to make some more complicated things.
On my way to go grocery shopping today, I stopped by the fabric store to have a look at it. What do you know, they are going through a remodel and had a bunch of stuff on sale - including the exact model that I wanted for Christmas! It was $100 off, so I called Dad and he said to go ahead and get it! So here you have it, my first sewing machine:
I'm really really excited. And I'm already thinking of a couple seemingly easy projects to start with. My 21st birthday present was a Kitchen Aid mixer, and my 22nd Christmas present; a sewing machine. I'm sorry, Gloria Steinem, but let's just call this Betty Crocker feminism, ok?
