Sew much?

It all started about three years ago. I was pregnant with my second daughter and was nesting non-stop. my older daughter was about to turn two and I was palnning an unforgetable birthday party. I was always into baking and hosting, and so this as a great oppurtinty to show off our new home. (I promise a seperated post on the party)
Looking for gifts ideas I came upon a blog giving away a free dress pattern for a two year old, and thought that could be a great gift (along with the photo books I make each of my girls every year and the pretend kitchen I upcycled along with my hubby).

Some googling and I found an online fabric store, ordered some fabrics and decided to give it a try. I sew by hand, as I didn't have a sewing machine and really didn't know how to use one. It took me a couple of weeks, sewing when no one else was home, while watching TV or talking on the phone, but it was ready just in time for the big party... and my daughter LOVED it!
By than I was hooked and asked for a sewing machine as a my birthday gift. I got a vintage singer, at least 80 years old, with only one stitch and bobbins I had to thread by hand, but I enjoyed evey second of it.
As time passed by I realised I needed more out of my sewing machine and ordered Janome DC1050 from Amazon. Now I could sew zigzag stitches as well (not to mention buttons, zippers and stitches I'm still not sure what they're meant for). another year has passed and I wanted to start sewing knits, only to discover my machine didn't respond well to them, oh the disappointment.
A couple more months had to pass until I finally decided I need a Serger much more than I need a new cell phone (my screen broke abotu half a year ago, but it's still working), and bought the JUKI 644D. and ever since I sew much more and enjoy evety minute of it.

In this blog I want to share my love for sewing, baking, and  DIY crafts in general
Would love to hear your thought and comments
