I did my first piece of machine embroidery the other night. It is for the tutorial lesson which I go to every Tuesday evening at Bernina. So I have not tidied up this piece in order for my teacher to crit me on it this evening. I am rather nervous and very critical of my own work.
I think I could have done better. I suspect I did not hoop the material correctly as it looks a bit bumpy in places around the embroidery. So I will wait to see what my teacher thinks of it.

Starting my dream…… here is where it begins.
My dream is to run my own sewing business. The last few months I have felt the closest to this life long dream than I have ever felt before. I am determined more than ever to make this work. So I will start here by putting my dream to a reality. I don’t know all the details but I will work them out as I go along. I have made excuses for too long as to why I am unable to make this dream a reality.
A friend told me the other day that I should look at ’2009′ as the year of ’2000 and mine’. It is a nice thought and if I don’t start now then I may never get myself into gear. The year is almost half gone and what have I got to show for it.
My wonderful DH has bought me my first embroidery sewing machine. I got it about 3 weeks ago. It is great and it increases my potential to do some amazing creations. I have fantastic digitising software whicham learning how to use.
I have begun looking at clothing which has embroidery designs with new eyes and think to myself I can do better or even that it will be so easy create similar items.
So watch this space in the next coming weeks, months or even years.
The dawn of ‘LASTING CREATIONS’
