Did you get a sewing machine for Christmas? I got my first machine for Christmas when I was 17. I used it until a couple of years ago, when I got my new sewing machine, also at Christmas. What a great gift, eh? So, you've got this great machine, and you're just itching to use it. I have some great projects available for new sew-ers, rusty sew-ers, and intermediate sew-ers.

If you're just starting out, I highly recommend the Aivilo Pouch Wallet or the Aivilo Flapper Purse to help you get used to your machine and learn or remember the basics of sewing. The Pouch Wallet is a fast project (like, less than an hour) that takes a minimal amount of fabric and it's something that'll definitely get used! The Flapper Purse would make a great second project - it's still easy, but takes a bit longer. Buy them both at the BOGO sale in my store for only $6.95 total! http://www.aivilocharlotte.etsy.com/

BOGO Sale ends 12/31!
