i love all flags bunted!
and i thought, the idea of sewing fabric on card stock? sooo cute! and a cinch! ...right?? ugh, wrong.

| what a mess! |
 |
| tangled beyond repair. |
well, not completely wrong. once i figured out what kept causing the bunching it was smooth sailin'. and i got to know my singer more intimately. i'll admit, i've sorta been a fly by the seat of your pants sew-er. only learning what i need to know to complete the project in front of me. i found buttons i didn't even know existed on this old gal! and thus adjusted the tension and stitch length and wah-la, this project went from disaster status, back to doable.
 |
| ah, much better. |
after some technical miscommunication (why can't all computers talk to each other?!) and some font re-dos (darn you Word!) and dialing it in with the sewing machine, they are finally ready for send off!

| i love! |
dyi, though ten times more time consuming, and sometimes the same cost of paying someone else (if not more), is always my favorite. because what started as an idea, became something created. something personal. and there's something so very satisfying in creating and crafting that has always been fulfilling for me, even with all the bumps and hiccups that come with it. ♥
