my first sewing lesson

i got bitten by the sewing bug when i chanced upon a beautiful piece of fabric in a little shop @ Queen street.

"i must make a dress out of this!" with this thought, i bought the fabric and asked my mum-in-law for help who used to own a small school teaching people how to sew.

last sunday was my first lesson! i wanted to sew a cushion cover with a cross stitch design.

three & a half hours of drafting, cutting and ironing, this is what i have achieved :
(yes, u are right, the 2 bigger pcs aren't ironed)

this sunday i will borrow j's sewing machine (my mum-i-l's is too professional a machine for me) and start sewing!
