Sewing machine adventure - part 1

[spring_dream]

I had never used a sewing machine before. I also do not have much experience sewing by hand, but I have done so in the past. So I decided it was time to learn to use one, and I went over to my grandmother's, who owns a machine. She first taught me how to work it – how to change the needle, insert the thread and so on. I then experimented with different kinds of stitches.

After that I made a rather crooked heart

And a less crooked star

I already have plans to go back, maybe this time I will actually make something.

Thanks! I've yet to see if I can actually make anything real with the machine. What kind of things have you been sewing?
My grandmother has some old patterns, she used to make her clothes herself, so I'll probably try one of those. I'm hoping to find a sixties style dress.

I made a small bag for my tarot deck awhile back (which I have no photos of). Also, this is my current wip.
