February Budget 'Cuse My French I broke the bloody hell out of the bank!! It has taken me a few extra weeks to get my budget post up for February because I knew I busted the bank wide open...I just wasn't ready to share yet! LOL I couldn't really be mad at myself though.  Even though I have set myself to stay on budget, some things just can't be helped. As every knows sewing IS an EXPENSIVE career or hobby in my case.  It is also an investment.  So with that said I will show you how I busted the month of February, but it was a one time purchase!

DIY - Pajamas - See & Sew B4322 I know I haven't posted in awhile. I have been sewing behind the scenes, but I have been soo busy at the hospital lately posting things I have made has been a challenge. Hope everyone is well!! So I decided to make pjs for my kids. This is the first time I have ever made pajamas and I'm excited about the outcome. Remember I'm still new to sewing and I learn something new everyday!! My daughter loves the Chicago Bulls and my son loves The Walking Dead. So I found the perfect fabric that made them both happy!! I used a see & sew pattern that was very easy to follow! Mr. Grumpy decided he wanted to be in the picture! All the Anti-Pill Fleece was purchased at Joann fabric. My daughter knew that I was making her pajamas but she had no idea that I had bulls fabric for her. I made the pants for her in the morning as soon as she got on the bus. My son came to the store with me to pick out his fab...

After much internet research, price comparison, and nerves....I decided to by myself a new sewing machine. I decided I was going to say its a 3mth early birthday present to myself!! I work hard enough I deserve it!! There is nothing wrong with my other Brother machine, I just wanted a machine that I can grow with as I learn more and do more! So I figure this was a good enough upgrade in my opinion! Does anyone have this machine? Is there anything I should know or pointers you have on it? I would love to hear everything and anything about it. Still scared to take it out the box! Lol Until Next Time! ✌️ Stephanie
