A wish came true!

Hey guys, what’s up? Do you remember in my last post, I have mentioned about my birthday gift.
See, what I got on my birthday! Usha Janome Allure! An automatic sewing machine! 

Yeaaaa...I am thrilled! A new colourful world has opened up!

It was my great wish to own an automatic sewing machine. My husband made my wish to come true. He knew that I would love to make dresses for my little angel and also interested in embroidery. Thank you dear




Slowly, I have started reading the manual and learned the basics about the operations and mechanisms. I was amazed by the options available for embroidery; it has around 30 stitch functions. I tried sewing almost all stitches. I am yet to receive a demo from Usha service centre.

As a beginner, the main problem what I am facing is stitching the neckline. Even though I am taking the measurements from old dress, it is still not perfect. Hmm...I am not going to give up..One day I will make it... As I told earlier, we have a one and half year old daughter. If I sit and do sewing, she comes and grabs things which are unfortunately sharp and harmful. This puts restrictions on my enthusiasm.


Somehow, I made a few dresses within a week. My mom lost her 3 to 4 saris in my experiment. Some are fine and some are flop. Anyway I would like to share some of my creations with you. You are the judge!


 
 How is my cocktail dress? It’s easy to make.


Cute little skirts!

As I am not a professional tailor, I won’t be able to teach you or even tell you anything about sewing. For me, stitching is not as easy as jewellery designing, but I would like to make it as my cup of tea. Hope, like the colourful beads, the colourful threads, this will also make my life brighter!
