practise run

on the weekend i finally decided to bring out my sewing machine
that has been hiding in my cupboard for about two weeks now
i did a little tidying up and made myself a work station
and with little spare material around
i managed to cut up my ghost costume
(looked more like kkk gear)
used for dress up day in year 12

so with the "bonus instructional cd"
i managed to learn how to sew
something which i havent done since year 9 textiles class
but i have always secretly wanted to learn how to sew
but i never had the time
and hence "never" had the time to buy a sewing machine
so now that i do have the time
i can make killer dolls faster
instead of hand stitching them which took ages !
took up too much time i didnt have

so heres what i went through


my work station


doll after being stuffed and dodgy embroided eyes


finally completed.
i kinda brushed on some food dye for a lil colour lol

this is only a practise doll
lincraft is having an "up to 50% off" sale on fabrics
so tomorrow im going to go crazy i hope
(if i have enough money to go crazy)

and then im going to sew some more and more
and maybe start to learn how to sew some clothes
i cant wait
be prepared to see something GREAT! (fingers crossed)
