Sewfar’s Blog

This time last weekend I embarked on a journey to finally sew something! My very first thing ever sewn with my Singer 4830 I bought off of craigslist.com for about 70 bucks. Hey, Christmas is coming– homemade Christmas that is and I needed to get going! I instantly wanted this the second I saw it. A quilted wallet by that darn kat! 

I wasn’t really too pleased with how this turned out. I made some stitching errors and I didn’t leave enough fabric when I sewed it because when it was time to turn it inside out, I failed. You can see at the bottom right where all the fabric is fluffed out. If you’d like to see the step by step pictures, click here. Like I said, not pleased but definitely not being too hard on myself considering this was my very first sewing project. (Honestly, I had only tested the many designs on a scrap piece of fabric before this. In fact, I made a simple coaster AFTER this wallet. I think I had that backwards.)
