okay, so i have some memories of using my mom's old sewing machine back when i was younger. maybe the early 90's? i made my own bell bottoms from my regular, boring jeans before they came totally back in style. some people teased me, but whatever. i loved bell bottoms before bell bottoms were cool (a second time)! i would rip the seam on the bottoms of the legs and cut triangles out of another pair and just sew them babies right up...voila! abracadabra! crooked, uneven, quirky bell bottoms! ugh do i wish i still had them...
back to my point:
i bought my first sewing machine this morning!!
yay!
yippee!
woot woot!
HOLLER!
i bought it from a lady who had never gotten around to learning how to sew so it was a ridiculously awesome price...and she told me it still worked...hopefully there won't be a popped bubble post next week titled, "my bubble has burst and turned into tears of disappointment!" i will be trying it this weekend, so we shall see.
to be honest, i do not remember anything about how to sew with a machine. for the last couple of years, i have completed a few projects here and there, but it has all been by hand. there is going to be a bit of a learning curve this second time around. but did you see my old/new reader's digest manual? got that jewel for less than $3 at a local thrift shop about a month ago.
i'm so excited!! for days leading up this purchase today, my mind has been racing like a ping pong ball in the olympics. oh where oh where shall i begin?! oh yeah. figure out how to use it. but omg, after i peel around that learning curve on two wheels (don't worry, i'm being safe, i'm cruising on a vespa)...it is going to get crazy around here.
like i said on instagram this morning.
"about to go old school up in here. be prepared peeps. you've been warned."
peace out
xoxo
