    Is this the first time you have sewn? If so, don’t lose hope 🙂 It can take a lot of playing around and learning before things come out perfectly. Are you planning on doing clothes as well, or just home goods?

    You’re doing great.
    And if it doesn’t turn out the way you want, you can always make a garland.

    I am sure you are doing great. There are plenty of tutorials and patterns out there for scraps too. Good luck with whatever you decide to make.

    You’re making the pouf thing right? I’m going to make one too. Looks super easy, I’m sure you’ll do just fine.

    Love the written fabric! I would love to learn to sew, but I need to buy a sewing machine–do you like the one you have??

    This is my first sewing machine. Works great and was inexpensive, I recommend!

    I just saw your successful pillow, and I’d say you’ve done well for first time solo!
    And clothes aren’t too daunting (I have made 3 dresses in the past 2 months, the first time I have sewn clothes!), but if you’re happy enough to buy clothes and can find stuff that fits and is nice, that’s good too 🙂
    Enjoy the sewing!
