I had to relearn how to thread it and all the bits and pieces needed to get started. Then, I started adding a little stitching here and there and remembered how much I actually like sewing on paper. So thanks, Barb for reminding me that I actually do like playing with the sewing machine. TODAY'S CHALLENGE -- from Barb OwenBarb's challenge was rather simple, she wrote these five words: Use stitching 3 ways. So here's what I did:
