Getting ready to start sewing...

As I've been waiting to get my sewing machine in the mail, I've been trying to build up a stash of things I might want or need to sew: thread, fabric, etc. Well one of the first things I got (and I actually got this before I knew I was getting a sewing machine) was a stack of fabric from this blog. She was part of Sew Mama Sew's Giveaway Day - AND I WON! Shocking, I know - as I don't normally win anything. But this is some beautiful fabric, and I can't wait to figure out what to do with it. I'm not quite sure yet, but I'm loving looking at tutorials online, so I'm sure I'll find something soon.

For my birthday, my wonderful sister (check out her blog here) gave me a little gift box with some more fabrics and things to use.

And today I went to Snellville Fabric Mart to check out what they have. Sadly it was only upholstery fabric, which isn't what I would normally want, but I did get a couple remnants to use to make some morsbags.
