Fun and Frustrating!

Okay, let's get a few things out of the way first.

1. I do not own a big cutting mat or a rotary cutter so I used a small self-healing mat (that fits into my scor-pal) and a pair of scissors.
2. I cannnot cut straight.
   
3. I used this tutorial to make my project and I also do not own the scalloped square die cut, so I used my square Nestabilitie (no scallops). It sort of worked.
   
4. I cannot cut straight.
   
5. I didn't have any cotton batting so I used polyester...I will use cotton next time.
6. I cannot cut straight.
   

So, in my opinion, my project turned out decent for not having any of the right tools and for it being my first non-paper sewing project!

 

  

 

My fabric frayed really bad -- I guess I used the wrong material?? And my sewing machine jammed so many times -- that's where the frustration came in. I think my tension was too high?? Or maybe too low?? I don't know, I have no previous experience to base it on.
Before you know it, I'll be on Project Runway -- I could be the person they have on the show that's purely there for entertainment value! Pin It Now!
