I got a new toy today!

If anyone remembers or cares for that matter I mentioned a few posts ago that I was going to be purchasing a sewing machine...well I did today I got this brother machine-

I liked it because it is computerized (not manual) and does button holes. The reviews were all good so I am hoping I can figure it out without to much stress. I also bought a fun book at barnes and noble it is 101 things you can make with 1 yard of fabric. Should be interesting???? I also got a little ambitious and bought a couple of patterns one for a fun tunic shirt and for a simple summer dress. They both say EASY so hopefully that means it will be?? I also got one that is AWESOME but definitely didnt say easy on it. It is more of the kind of dresses I wear all year round so maybe if I get good at this I can make me a million in all different fabric hehe. Of course this is all wishful thinking assuming I can even get it out of the box. Good thing though I bought it at Walmart so I can return it if I dont use it. But hopefully I will use it. Now I know I have some friends out there who sew and make fun JonJons (Jess) and I was wondering where yall got your pattern I couldnt find one today?

i got knox's at joanne's but it's a toddler's (starts at 2T) and they really didn't have a whole lot of selection, so i'd try that link from natalie.

and you'll love your brother. the buttonhole feature is one of my favorites too!
