Knitting Dog learns to Sew

Well last Wednesday was the first of my six week course on how to use a sewing machine! 

I've been looking forward tot his for quite some time. I have had a sewing machine before but never known to to use it properly. I got a new sewing machine for Christmas but hadn't even turned it on until a couple of weeks ago not knowing what to do! 

The sewing course is in our little Town at a small shop Love Heart Home https://www.facebook.com/pages/Love-Heart-Home/116750541703684 there are only three of us on the course so the tuition is perfect and you can ask as many silly questions as you like! The ladies there are all very knowledgeable and know so much about fabric and techniques. If I can come away with even a a hint of their knowledge about sewing I will have learnt a great deal! 

This week we made a protective heat mat 



Next time I will be making a pencil roll, fabric already purchased from the shop as I'm not fully confident in choosing the right sort yet! I can't wait!
