over the past two weekends, i took a sewing class at fabrika, a hip and fun fabric store in downtown savannah, owned by two recent SCAD graduates {read :: this is not your grandmother's sewing shop. you'll find both modern prints & perspective. how refreshing.}.
annnd yesterday b and i went to look at sewing machines, if that tells you anything about how much i loved the class. i'm still in the research phase of the sewing machine purchase, mainly which means i'm trying to figure out how much i want to spend. the girls at the shop have raved about berninas, but those beauties are definitely the porsches of sewing machines. but i would really like to get a machine i will have forever and will never outgrow. any seamstresses out there with good advice?
in the meantime, i couldn't resist sharing a few things i made in the class...
:: circles ::
:: seams :: darts ::
:: box pleats ::
:: pocket ::
:: ruffles :: {my favorite} and actually pretty simple to make.
:: and here is my tote bag ::
:: ta da ::
it was easy to make a good one with all the amazing fabic choices at fabrika {in addition to the fantastic instruction of course}. it's definitely dangerous that the shop is located within three blocks of our apartment. i'm thinking that once i get my machine, i may be their new best friend.
