Twin Needle, My First Time

Fancy, no? 

I had a hard time getting all the settings right so the underside would look like a zig zag stitch, but I finally got it right

. I had to set my stitch length to 2.5 the width to 0.5, and the tension to 9.

I think I may have classed this project a bit up beyond my expectations. Now I want to buy a ball point twin needle for knit projects. Look how fancy I am!

Still no guesses on what this project is?

Guess My Current Project...

I saw these fabrics and just fell in love with them. It's the Alexander Henry "june song" and "june dot" fabrics. Isn't that pink delicious?! And giant black rick rack is so rich and intense. All this project needed was for me to put a bird on it.*

Any guesses on what my project is?

*(YouTube "Portlandia Put a Bird on it". You'll thank me later.)

It feels awesome to be sewing again!

Oh, and last night I went to a wholesale fabric warehouse with my sister-in-law Steph and bought some cute stuff that I have some big plans for, in my etsy shop!
