My Creative Space..... Sew Baby Sew!!

Woohoo, my creative space this week is newness for me. Yay I love testing out new stuff. Back at the sewing machine, it's been quite neglected of late so it has been lovely this week to be playing with some Mexican oilcloth. It's like way bright and fabulous and spotty and happy. I like happy fabric, it makes me smile. And it wasn't quite as daunting to sew with as I first thought, phew.... You know how I don't have much patience well I tried to find some and read some stuff about sewing oilcloth and the like and well I wasn't all gun-hoe about cutting it, I read a bit more, and then I finally drew myself up a pattern and after adjusting the pattern three times, the first two were a little large, the third one worked a treat. Pictured is prototype number 2, great size for my multitudes of make up or the Mr.'s lunch.
And the best handy little tip, so you don't have to buy a Teflon foot for your machine, if your going to sew on the bright, happy side, otherwise known as the right side pop a piece of baking paper over the top and sew straight through it. When you are finished carefully tear it off and wha-la it works, give it a burl. And also make sure your machine needle is sharp- that's a no brainer!
