Laundry Room Curtains


I am "sew" excited to be sewing! ;-) 


I just fell in love with this brown gingham fabric
and thought it would be perfect to use to pretty up the laundry room!
(And little did I know, but gingham is the BEST fabric for beginning sewers to use. Talk about being able to easily measure, cut and press - wow!)


But first...I had to thread the machine! Gulp!


I hadn't done that since I was in high school home ec, 20+ years ago!


This machine is so simple and wonderful for me to relearn on.


And I successfully threaded the top and bottom threads on the first try!


I never could have done it without this little guy!


When I saw this little machine at Wal-Mart for a super low price 
AND with an instructional DVD included,
I felt the first small glimmer of hope that ~maybe~ I could sew!  :-) 


And, oh how I do love how these turned out.  
I made two panels and they hang evenly, much to my surprise! ;-)


I think they look so cute and homey!

After finishing these last night,
visions of more curtains, napkins, placemats, tablecloths, aprons...etc. etc. were indeed dancing in my head! :-)

John 8:24
"I told you that you would die in your sins; if you do not believe that I am the one I claim to be, you will indeed die in your sins."


Tomorrow's question  - 
Is this a life and death statement?
