My Blog

I’m not quite sure what bug got ahold of me, but I’ve decided to start sewing! Me (?), right? Anyone that knows me KNOWS I don’t sew, so this is as much a surprise to me as anyone!

While in San Francisco, I visited Wee Scotty sewing shop and browsed at their different Husqvarna Viking machines (same brand my Mother-in-law swears by) and was taken by the beautiful fabrics. I would’ve bought a machine there on the spot, but they said that they can’t ship out of district, so I was going to have to buy it in my own city. This was good, because it caused me to call around Atlanta to see what shops there were, and I was told that two days later there would be a Viking “Truck event” at my local sewing shop! I was thrilled! I called Diana, my MIL, and she agreed to go with me. I was originally thinking that I’d just get a sewing machine, and then when I got there, fell in love with a sewing/embroidery combo. The embroidery unit can accomodate up to 4″x4″ which is great for me – I think I just want to do monograms/names/small designs, etc.

So, she’s home with us now, and I’m just starting to get used to her. My first project is a half apron… posting coming soon!
