Brad's grandmother found a {vintage} Wards sewing machine for me at an estate sale a few weeks ago. The Owner's Guide mentions it to be a Wards 14 Cam Automatic Zig Zag Sewing Machine Model URR 285. She gave me a little tutorial at a family BBQ Sunday evening. Over the past few weeks, I've bookmarked several blogs with a few projects I'd like to try. I'm hopeful this will turn into a fine-art hobby verses home economics {or maybe a combination thereof}.

A few bookmarked ideas:
Security Blanket Project
{baby gift idea}
Ruffle Necklace Tutorial
{so pretty}
Quilted Notecards Tutorial
{skill level: supposedly VERY easy}
Freezer Paper Stenciling Tutorial
{not exactly a "sewing project" but it looks interesting}
Fabric Scrap Memory Game
{again, not exactly a sewing project but a good kid gift, yes?}
I will post updates as I get crafty this summer... and learn more about this sewing machine.
