1st attempt at using a Sewing machine

A slight diversion from my usual. I've just attended a class at So Sew Pretty workshop in Dumfries aimed at first time users of a sewing machine.
Two items were made during the evening.

First a pin cushion

and then a cushion cover.

                             Front

                   
                            Rear

All materials were provided.

Fantastic experience and definitely recommended.

My very first knitting project

I completed my very first knitting project in April 2011. I chose a very simple design as it was more a chance to practice than anything else.
I opted to make a scarf for my Teddy Bear.

Knitted in garter stitch in it's entirety and on 5mm needles it didn't take too long to complete.

A photo of the finished product (modelled by my teddy bear) can be found below.
