I sew!

update:
some things I have learned from my first project:
1. I need to measure everything
2. wash, dry and press everything.
Im a sewer! I am slowly getting the hang of this machine, slowly but surely! I don't have all the supplies I need yet but a start...don't look too close at the cards I made (out of scraps) bc you will then see how bad I suck at just sewing a straight stitch. I am improving though. Right now I am piecing together a little patchwork quilt for Isla, I did a little mock up of a style pillow I like, with pintucks...its pretty easy! (out of an old ripped up bedsheet, I am thinking linen would be perfect like these below (martha stewart).
