A sewing machine! (a Brother XL-2230, to be precise)
I've named him Akashi.
He is Japanese, has 26 stitch functions and enjoys kickboxing and good coffee.
:D I'm in love.
My first sewing project was an easy one - a roll-up makeup bag.
Looks pretty nifty and I designed the pattern myself - although I've since thought of about five ways to use less material and sew less seams.
It was a good first go though, I think.
I have a week of annual leave next week and I'm really looking forward to sitting down and busting out a whole bunch of stuff.
Actually I have a lot of ideas for new resin designs and owlish critters as well. Heaps of work to be done!
The aim is to hit up Newtown markets before Christmas. Anne, Sez and I made some serious cash before Christmas last year.
In other news, had another sale via my ordinary owl brand on madeit.com.au.
So far, I've made $60 via madeit.com.au. That's in exchange for about an hour's worth of effort in terms of setting up the store.
Gets me thinking about what I could do if I dedicated some proper time to some of these half-assed projects.
