Early Christmas present!


While I was shopping on Black Friday I saw that sewing machines were on sale at Joann's (because it's a Viking and I get free sewing classes!). I've wanted my own sewing machine for over a year now. I've been borrowing my dad's all year but when he needed it back I asked to borrow my friend Stephanie's. Well, after all the sewing I've done recently I've been really pressed to get my own. And after convincing Tyler that it's an important and long-lasting purchase, I bought my first sewing machine!!! It doesn't have a lot of bells and whistles and added extras which may come in handy later on but it was within our "budget." Thanks mom's and dad's for the help! I really think it will last as longs as both my mom's have....at least 25 years. Now I have to keep my mind off of opening my own Etsy shop next year....

  1. Yay for you! I have my moms old sewing machine, and it is at least 37 years old. It still runs pretty well, although I have to "jump start" it sometimes. Oh, to have a new machine! I bet you are going to love it!

  2. I am so jealous! I have wanted to learn to use a sewing machine for years! How awesome that it comes with free lessons, too. How much did it cost btw since I am in the market for a good basic sewing machine (don't worry, I won't tell anyone!).

  6. Hooray for you! My parents bought me a sewing machine for Christmas three years ago and I love it! I have used it quite a bit. I am excited for you to have one all to yourself. Here's to many fun projects!

  7. You know how I feel about it. I can't believe you went so long without one. I am especially glad you got a Viking. It really will last forever. I still use my mom's old machine. It must be 30 years old.
