Sewing Machine!

My mom got me a sewing machine as an early birthday present. I was pretty very excited!! 

My first project was to make some curtains for my kitchen window... I had some ugly, no-sew curtains that I made with some sheer fabric and my iron. They were hideous and I was happy to be able to replace them! The fabric is from Ikea and is the same pattern as the curtains in the dining room. I love them!

This is the dining room curtain, so you can see that it's the same pattern, different color.

I'm In Love!

We went to a place called "Garden Ridge" today and I got these amazing fabrics for a future boys nursery. There's two yards of everything, but the herringbone, I got four yards of that. The navy and yellow plaid and the herringbone were $2.99 for two yards. The navy suede and the stripes were $5.99 for two yards. I love them all! Now, I just need to learn to sew and get some more ideas of how exactly to use them!
