She's here

My sewing machine arrived on Friday - and I've already done my first piece of sewing: another cushion cover. I went fabric shopping at John Lewis yesterday and went for a cute kids pattern - which includes a pink monkey! No-brainer really (and it was reduced)! I won't show you the finished product, as I've only just ordered some cushion filling, but I will share my first stitch with you, which I think looks amazingly straight. Admittedly, it went downhill from there... I think I will need to become more of a perfectionist for this to work out!

I was so proud for working out how to get the thread onto the bobbin, and just generally getting the machine to work. I'm in love! :-)
