Scrapbooking using a Sewing Machine

Published by: Tracy E on 21st Mar 2009 | View all blogs by Tracy E
I love the look of stitching on my layouts.  Recently I made a page about my son turning 3 and stitched on a large circle mat.  It gave the circle a very artsy feel along with the ink I had applied.  I also love sewing as a way to attach ribbon and paper scraps to a layout.  I have both hand stitched and used a sewing machine.  Both have merit, but I love the ease of using a machine - it's so quick and easy.

I used to have my sewing machine set up in my kitchen closet in my former house.  I had my father install an outlet in the closet and I removed a couple of shelves to make more room.  This worked well for the situation I was in at the time - very small house; scrapbooked at the kitchen table.  Now that I have a larger house and a dedicated scrap space, I feel lucky to have the luxury of my sewing machine right beside me.  I have space to leave it set up on my table, but sometimes I have it stored on the floor and just pick it up when I want to use it.  I find I use it a lot more now and love it!  I hope you can find a way to use your sewing machine more often.  Accessiblity is the key!
