Craft bug.
Friday, December 4th, 2009It all started with the hemming of my jeans. I have 3 pairs of jeans which I needed to shorten the length a little. Since I didn’t have a sewing machine, I had to hem them by hand. It took me hours to measure, cut and sew them. Sewing being the tedious one of the 3 tasks. Later,I also started to sew a couple of soft toy for my daughter. Each one took me hours to stitch. I am indeed a very slow sewer.
Thinking about how many things I would be able to do and make if I teach myself to sew, I decided to get a sewing machine. So for this Christmas, I have asked my husband to get me a sewing machine as a gift. Even a cheap one would do. Thus, I will be learning to sew right after Christmas. 
From sewing, I started to crochet back. I still had a ball of white yarn and a crochet needle from 2 years ago. I completed a dresser top mat.
The end result isn’t as neat andnice as what a pro would be able to achieve, but I am sure of proud of myself for making it. 
Last evening I made a no sew tutu for my daughter. Making it the fourth craft I’ve made within 2 months.
Right now I am interested with all sorts of craft work. Browsing and reading about the ways to make craft work – more crochet work, cross-stitch, glass tile art, and more.
Making crafts is satisfying and rather addictive.
