<p>Now I'm terrible at sewing by hand and I had never used a sewing machine at the time. I have however gotten m grandmothers old sewing machine and wanted to have a go. I was very scared and thought with my two left hands and eternal clumsiness that could never work. But at the end of february m wonderful friend Kate showed me how to use the sewing machine. I wrote about that <a href="http://elli.livejournal.com/474453.html">here.</a></p>

<p>After over three months, I am done with it and have now also given the pillow to <span style='white-space: nowrap;'><a href='http://legoline.livejournal.com/profile'><img src='https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif' alt='[livejournal.com profile] ' style='vertical-align: text-bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;' width='17' height='17'/></a><a href='http://legoline.livejournal.com/'><b>legoline</b></a></span>. She loved it. :D</p>
<p>The result is far from perfect, but really good for a first attempt. The fabric I used, isn't very good, so on the side, the only place with just one layer, the filling sort of sips through the fabric. But other than that I'm very happy with the result. Next I want to create a small handbag for myself.</p><br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=elli&ditemid=449986" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments
