Sew Easy Cards
Im trying out my new tool, the Sew Easy from We R Memory Keepers. I bought my own floss at Michael's and started piercing. I love that the tool swivels for different patterns. Making straight pierces is not a problem but be careful when you want to curve, because sometimes you can push too hard or to soft and the holes get messy. I guess like anything else it takes a bit of practice. Each piercing head can do 3 different patterns so be sure to download the guide so you can see what the stitches are. I'm really thankful for that guide since I had no clue how to make the stitches once the holes were pierced. I'll be practicing some more this weekend but here are two cards I have managed to complete.

You make me Smile
Here is another French Manor card. I love this cart. It has some great cuts such as the flowers and border on this card. The borders is cut at 3/4 and done twice to fit my card. I do like them... but I prefer my border punches.... love them. The flowers are covered with a generous amount of Stampin Up dazzling diamonds.

Sew Nice
I am super excited to share this one with you today. I have been practicing to sew for over a week, although I've had a new sewing machine for over a year. I don't know how to sew and my dear mother in law tried to teach me. Well I think I finally accomplished it. I practiced on fabric and paper. I bought my machine to sew on paper projects mainly. It took me a while to figure out the whole tension and bobbin piece, but managed it for this card. I hope it goes well for future projects too. I think this one is for my mother-in law. I bet she will be surprised that I finally did it. By the way, I envy all you that are pros at sewing, I don't know how you do it. I was ready to throw everything away and give up yet again. Glad I stuck with it. Off I go to practice some more.... enjoy your day.
