My First Time Sewing......

So I've never sewn anything in my life......ok I did sew on a button once.  I bought this fancy $20.00 battery operated sewing machine because I wanted to start sewing on my scrapbook pages and cards.  I took it out of the box and thought, hey I could make something, to heck with the scrapbook pages, I want to sew!  Ummmm 3 hours later and this is what I made.

I was going to make this a sewing FAIL post but I have to say it didn't come out too shabby.  It's not "shabby" in a shabby chic kind of way but I didn't do too shabby.  Let's see if it holds up to much movement or if it will all come apart at the seams!  I'm giving it to my niece because I'm hoping she won't notice my bad sewing lines, thread showing and me not knowing how to sew an invisible stitch!  

 

Thanks to Purl Bee for the tutorial!  I would have posted a picture of what theirs look like but I didn't want to spoil mine with their wonderful sewing skills! 

Thanks Bunches!  Monica
