When I asked my friend to show me how to use a sewing machine, she so gracefully agreed and then let me borrow it while she is off on vacation. My first attempt? A bandanna table runner I found on C
ountry Living's website.
Wal*Mart had these funky floral bandannas so I figured it looked vintage, even better!
I have a question for all you sewers out there,
Where should you place the pins?I thought I got them far enough away from the machine, but close enough to still do the job, but this is what happened.

The finished product? It's not
my pride and joy, but it is my first sewn product!

It looks pretty good. You should have seen my first stuff it was hardly recognizable!!
cute!! i usually take the pin out right before it goes under the needle...
First, I agree with Alicia!
Second, it also looks like you just need some practice sewing straight. and trust me it takes practice! Projects like this are perfect for it. Super cute!!
Hey just popped over from SITS, I love your blog, it's so cute! I also love this idea, I have been wanting to do this to make a "picnic blanket" I have never sewed anything, but am going to try, after we move in a few weeks! I'll be back!!
