Sewing has never been my forte. I never really had an inspiration to get myself going with it. Now I do! I love making random things for the house and would LOVE to make gifts for people on a whim! You wouldn't believe how much fabric I have left over from our dining room drapes...so that is my inspiration. I'll have to show you the things I plan on making!
Anyway, back to the point of this post. My sweet mom is getting me a sewing machine for Christmas!! Whoohoo! Go Mom! We have been looking around for a great beginner sewing machine that will really stand the test of time. This is the one I think we've decided on.
EDIT: My mom and DAD are giving me this sewing machine. My terrible bad.

When I get this in the mail I plan on visitin V and Co. and her Etsy shop A LOT MORE OFTEN!! She has some great patterns I can't wait to make!
Doesn't she just look like tons of fun?

Great Mom. Wonder why your Dad isn't involved.
Good score! Sounds like it is a great deal. I recently got my first one as well, but I went used through craigslist. Almost wish I didn't now, because of the sweet deal you just got!
Just stopping by for the first time- your blog is darling!
I'm a Brother girl... You will LOVE it and wonder how you waited so long to get one:)!!

I have been thinking about asking for one for Christmas, too! But I've never sewn even a stitch. I really want to learn to be able to make so many different things - let me know how it goes!
