Ever get an idea in your head for a craft project and then put it off forever or start it and then life gets in the way? That’s basically what happened to me when trying to monogram this sweatshirt! I started the design around the first week of October when some family came to visit and then it sat in the office for weeks. I’m boxing up our fall decor as I write this (literally) and we are about to deck the halls for baby Jesus tonight… so talk about last minute, but I really wanted to crank out this adorable pumpkin monogram to wear today so by golly I was up and at it this morning! Cricuting, heat press going and all!! And yes, I called my mother (AKA the Cricuting queen) before 9 am to enlist her expertise. 🤣🎃

Mom was quick to tell me that might not be the best way to approach finding a sewing machine. If you’re a beginner seamstress looking to purchase a machine, this post is for you!
