I had a go!

So I dragged my poor sewing machine out and had a go at the Martha tutorial!
Now my machine is a victim of abuse, he has sewn chipboard and paper all of his poor life and I can hear him screaming when he sees me coming. So it was hit and miss if he would like plastic vinyl!

I did treat him to a service last month and pretended to be astounded when the mechanic told me that my machine really needed cleaning as it was full of random pieces of patterned paper.... now where that came from I do not know?....:)

So machine check
Non slip foot check
funky patterned scrap paper check
Vinyl check
Popper check.........

And here is my result!

Sewing on plastic took some patience and the instructions were not that clear. it helped to have the video of the Martha show running whilst I was trying to figure out the next step.
There is a lot of work in this and it was not for a novice stitcher but it gave me some great ideas for future projects.

Have a go, it was a lot of fun and it definitely passed a rainy Dutch afternoon!
I can however still hear my sewing machine shaking in his case :)
