For Christmas I asked my husband, Mike, for a sewing machine. This was a hobby I had been interested in starting for a while and decided to bite the bullet.
With never having sewed before, I sat down one night after the kids had gone to bed with sewing machine in hand and the instructional DVD that came with it playing away on the t.v. I learned how the wind the bobbin & thread the machine and went to work on fixing the curtains in the playroom that I'd originally rigged up. Project one complete with little mistakes made. I was quite proud of myself.
Not long after, I completed project two. Something near & dear to me. A baby blanket for my friend Julie. Something that breaks my heart now.
Project three was another baby gift for an expecting girlfriend. This time, Cooper, would be the receiver of said gifts. & with this project not only a precious little baby boy, but an idea, was born.
I decided, with my love of all things baby, I'd start an Etsy shop built around burp cloths, bibs, and blankets. Thus, Momma's Itch to Stitch, was created.
I've got a few other ideas up my sleeves but just haven't got to work on them quite yet. While this is truly just a hobby, turning it into a little profit will be nice, but if for some reason it ends up being a big ol' flop...I have a ton of friends who are expecting and will keep me busy for the time being!
