Sewing Machine

The BIG gift that I got from my parents this year Christmas was a Singer Ingenuity Sewing Machine. It's ridiculous. It's fully electronic and probably one of the easiest machines I've ever used (and I'm not just talking about sewing machines). I love it! You just push some buttons and the sewing machine automatically changes to the settings it needs. It's amazing. And I've already finished two projects! I was finally brave enough to take it out of the box on Friday and I read the whole manual (which I don't think I've ever done). On Friday I made a door-blocker-thingy to go in front of our front door so that it doesn't leak the cold and heat. And then on Saturday I made Charissa a dress! While there are LOTS of mistakes, I think it looks pretty good. Here's a few pictures:

In this picture Charissa is proving her true modeling capabilities. It's the "something-interesting-is-going-on-far-off-behind-the-camera" pose.

This is just a bonus picture because she's making her new strange face. She breaths rapidly through her nose and scrunches up her face. It's really funny.

I don't think I'll be making a lot of clothes for Charissa, but at least I know I can. If anyone has need for a sewing machine, you know my number!
