Since I have been crafting more and more recently (and since AJ gave me the idea of this blog, the creative juices are flowing ever more!) I realized I had to stop waiting to go home to use my mother's sewing machine and buck up and buy one for myself!
On to Craigslist I went (thanks AmeriCorps budget... being thrifty is actually a need now, not an excuse!) and I found a nice lady who sold mer her Kenmore model 385 for $35 (thread included, yahoo!)
Well, only issue is I found it in Mahtomedi, MN and I am still in Clive, IA. That's an issue. Luckily my awesome boyfriend told me he would pick it up! So 35 minutes longer on his drive home from work, he ended up with my very own sewing machine!
I have yet to see it in person (I leave for MN in about 2 hours!) but I was able to have a few photos sent to me!

Here it is! And it's ALL MINE!
Yeah, it was cheap but it has a removable base to sew sleeves and collars. NICE!
So many stitch styles!!
Now, my question... Does having a sewing machine make me a grown woman? ;) How many 23 year olds do you know that hunt for a sewing machine in order to sew their own clothes? Yeah, that's right. Probably not many!
