After working on our halloween costumes, as you can see from mine (upper right), I have become quite interested in learning how to, not just sew stuff onto an already made dress but to actually make the whole thing. So yesterday Jake and I went sewing machine shopping. We went to Sewing & Vacuum over in Northgate and this really nice lady sat down with me and showed me sewing machines in my price range. It made me realize that there are alot of words associated with the machines that I don't know, like feeder foot & stretch stitch. The good thing about the machine that I was looking at is that it comes with a class on how to use it. I really enjoyed working on the costumes and I think I will even more if I am not sewing by hand.
So next halloween we should be wearing costumes made from scratch so If we look like homeless people now you will know why. :)
