Now that I've read the instruction booklet and watched the DVD on how to use my Brother XR-900 sewing machine I'm ready to get started. What will be my first project? I was thinking to start small and simple such as a wristlet wallet similar to the one that was stolen from my purse the week of Christmas. Instead of driving to the fabric store to peruse the pattern books like I used to, I Googled "wristlet pattern" and whallah, a beautiful blog with a wristlet tutortial appeared. The tutortial, created by Jody from Maryland, gave step-by-step instructions along with amazing photos to illustrate the process. Wow! And in addition to the amazing lesson, her wristlet design was by far the coolest one out there. I could do this, I surmised. (Click on my photo above to go to Jody's tutorial).
I've taken out some of the few sewing supplies I saved from the olden days; a few zippers, dozens of spools of thread, a raggedy tape measure, an antique pin cushion and a few samples of fabric I couldn't depart with when I gave away the rest. Surely I could start with this. Yes, except her instructions call for some interfacing which I no longer have. So I will need to run down to the fabric store (now a craft store called Joann's) after all. Maybe this weekend.
