So, I'm getting a sewing machine from my parents for Christmas. I went to Hancock Fabrics to pick it out the other day. After debating with the manager and staring at the machines for about 45 minutes, my mom and I settled on the 7258 Stylist by Singer.

I'm pretty darn excited about it. So much so that I've already picked out my first project. It will be a pom pom pillow that was tutorialized here. I haven't decided what color scheme to go with or what I want to use it for. If the first specimen turns out well, I might go for a second run with a black/gold Mizzou theme.
Since this requires 12 yards of pom pom trim, I have been looking around online for a good wholesale site. That way, I figure the entire pillow will cost roughly $25. Otherwise, picking up the trim at a local fabric store could cost me an arm. I should have put pom pom trim on my Christmas list.
