a new stitching hobby!

i was given this absolutely lovely sewing machine for my birthday this month! it's a singer stylist 7258, and i completely adore it!

i've got big plans for this machine! and i've already made a bag using this tutorial from //between the lines//.
i've got such a long list of things i want to make now! it's an every growing list, and i can't wait to dive even further in to a new fiber addiction :)

    the exterior is linen, the interior is cotton.

    this tutorial came from //between the lines// (http://pm-betweenthelines.blogspot.com/2009/11/messenger-bag-tutorial.html)

    there's this one that's upcycled from a pair of cargo pants from noodlehead (http://www.noodle-head.com/2010/01/tutorial-messenger-bag-from-cargo-pants.html)

    i've also found this wallet-to-tote tutorial from sew, mama, sew (http://sewmamasew.com/blog2/2011/05/wallet-to-tote-on-the-go-tutorial/).

    those are the ones that i'm looking at doing next, but a general google search for messenger bags will bring up a ton of other great stuff!

    thanks for reading,
