Welcome to Gaia! ::

((I noticed that we don't have a craft subforum, so I'll just post it here for now))

This is my latest sewing project, a baby elephant! Isn't it so cute? :]

I need to buy some buttons for the eyes, but other than that, I am pretty happy with it.
What does everyone else think?

Thank you. :] It has eyes now, and is contentedly sitting on my desk next to my computer.

If you have a sewing machine it isn't too hard. Just find some really easy starter patterns, and possibly get someone to show you the basics. I spent a few days at my grandmother's house last summer and she taught me by having us make a shirt together (not much of a beginner project, but it introduced me to harder stuff while still having guidance.)
Plus, you want to make something you like/ want. Or else it gets pointless. I started out by making an owl pillow. :] It's so cute.

Keep in mind that every project you complete gives you more experience to go towards harder stuff. Right now I am practicing a few different bag patterns so that I understand all the mechanics of them so I can design one of my own.

And coupons are your friend for fabric. And sales.
