A STICH A DAY.




Remember when i said i got this Sewing Machine from my sister ( Oh yea i didn't mention it before he he )

Anyway yesterday i was so damn bored so i decided to open the box and try do something with the sewing machine. Actually its a long story how my sister got this sewing machine but and i knew it a long time ago... Inday if your reading this mesti kau tersenyum.

So here i am, trying to reorganize the threads and the needle and WALAAAAA its done and slowly i try to apply what i've leart so far from my short tutoring at my faculty a year back ( oh yes i did went for a short tutoring at my faculty but it was so breif i didn't even manage to sew anything but basically i got the basic how to do it)

And..... confidently i put down the pedal and push the needle down and it goes somewhat smoothly and after a few stitching it stops.. as if something stuck. I slowly lift up the needle and guess what the stitching is not happening and the threads are all entangled. Ohhhhhh god.

Then come the second try and still the same thing happen , and then the third , the forth and i found myself wasting 2 hours of my time doing the same thing over and over again. Gosh Tailoring is hardddddddddd.. After doing it for 2 hours Lenu came and we went to but some flower pots from the nursery ( i need to plant my herbs ie. my Thai basil and my Mint, followed by dinner.

When lenu left home i sat back to my chair facing my sewing machine and a light bulb goes up my head.. maybe its has something to do with the flow of the threads so i pull back all my thread and reorganize it back ( the instruction book was so brief it doesn't show anything ). There was a picture at the side of the machine on the flow of the thread , so slowly i follow the instruction and WALAAAAAAA again.

Slowly i push my piece of cloth to the machine and the needle goes up and down and surprisingly the stitches work. OH god i was so happy. SMS lenu and my sister all about it and took the cloth i bought like a year ago and start cutting the fabric and soon i was stitching my pillow cover.

So last night i end up with 2 more new pillow cover for a start. I was so happy with what i learn today and hey i think this is a new beginning for a new career hehehe. Next i was thinking of buying some high end fabric and doing my own cushion cover.
