Simple Skills - Elves at work



made by me......
I can hardly believe it myself, yes its me behind a sewing machine. I never thought it was possible since I am one of those individuals who struggle to sew a button onto a garment. I decided to attempt a one day sewing course with "Elves at Work" who promises to teach you to sew in just one day! The class accommodates a maximum of 6 persons and we where we asked to introduce ourselves and briefly elaborate why we were doing the course. My reason being that I wanted to sew my own vests/t-shirts that I wear as undergarments as well as the fact that we have 3 machines at work that is used to manufacture bags, pencil cases etc. and I often looked at the machines and wondered whether I would ever be able to work them.

Well guess what?? I have done it, Alhumdulilah. I bought 1 meter of fabric at Hilite and managed to sew two t-shirts (under-tops as I prefer to call it), 1 long-sleeve and the other sleeveless.

made by me......
We where also shown how to iron on a logo using heat transfer paper, and I added my FAMALLY
logo to the inside of my t-shirt instead of using a stitched on label that irritates the back of my neck.


AND there you have it........made by me! Alhumdulilah, another skill learned in just one day, so whats stopping you?
