Sewing!

I've had a new sewing machine as an early birthday present!  \o/
I love it - it's so smooth (& quiet) & can do 5 different styles of button hole! I know, 5! LOL

I gave it a test drive this afternoon by making myself a pair of comfy lounge pants with some cute Thor fabric that I bought on holiday in the US (what can't you find in Walmart, eh? *g*)

I've been really enjoying my sewing over the last few months.  Here are some of the bits & bobs that I've made:

A throw cushion for my friend's birthday:

I got the awesome fabric from Hancocks when we were on holiday. :)

I only wish places like Jo-ann's Fabrics & Hancocks shipped to the UK!  We just don't have so many lovely fabrics to choose from here.

Btw - is anyone else having problems with their user icons?  When I answer a comment, only my default icon gets used - even when I've selected another.

Not knowing one end of a needle from the other, I'm hugely impressed. Is there no end to your talents?!!

The Thor pants are brilliant, and it must be wonderful to be able to give 'home made' gifts to people - they're so much more personal.

*goes back for another look*

Honestly, S I didn't know that I could sew - I only started this year! *g* It's another of those therapeutic things like baking that I'm just loving.
