The best mother-in-law in the world gave me this sewing machine for last christmas!. Since then i've created pillows for our living room, made this little giraffe stuffed animal for a friend's baby shower, failed in an attempt at making a dress the night before a wedding (i guess you really do need a mannequin for that after all), sewed together some candy corn garland for our fall decor, and i have PLENTY of ideas for more projects. (I can't wait to make some stuffed animals for Emily )
