Christy's Photoshop Elements Fun With Filters Class is fun!

 

Cutout from Lesson One is applied to the sewing machine. TFL!

 

Journaling:

Mom and I never had very much in common, but when I was twelve years old I asked her to teach me to sew. We shopped for a Simplicity pattern and fabric together and she showed me how to read the pattern and how to cut out the fabric for my 1963 A-line style dress. She taught me how to thread her beloved Singer Featherweight machine, the one she bought for $100 because it included “ten free sewing lessons with your purchase.” Then she left me with my only other sewing instruction, which was “don’t break anything.” I didn’t, and I was on my way to a lifetime of love of sewing, the one interest that Mom and I always shared.

Wow - your journaling is terrific - what a lovely memory to put into a layout. I love the stitching embellishments and the title you've chosen - very nicely done!

This is fantastic. Your journaling is so great. My mom taught all her daughters to sew, and all three of us made good use of those skills throughout our lives. I passed the skill on to my daughters as well. Thanks for sharing this.

I love the journaling - great memory. As an avid quilter I absolutely love the Featherweight - it caught my eye in the gallery! Hang onto it!
