Hi everyone....
Still don't know what I'm doing but thought I'd have another go....

I bought some of my own fabric and decided to make my own hanging hearts design!





I was really pleased with the finish of these and I feel that it is improving with everyone I make!
The sewing machine picture above is one I recently bought. The first one broke so I took it back and swapped it for another one..... The second one broke to so very put out I took it back again and asked for a full refund. I. Currently using my mums machine which is fab but I'd love my own... 
If anyone can recommend a machine that's reliable, prefect for beginners and reasonably priced please let me know!
If you have any tips or advice for me please comment I'd love to hear...

Some of my work!

This is my first piece of work it's not the best but i feel I learnt a lot and have progressed 


This is my second piece of embroidery i was very pleased with this! 

For my birthday I recently got many lovely gifts and this was one of them, it came in a set, I sewed it all together. It's has lavender inside and smells Devine  

If anyone has any tips  guidance or words of encouragement please feel free to share them with me!
