Hi Friends,
This past week, while trying to help dear daughter sew a really cool mermaid outfit that she found on Youtube, my Singer gave up the ghost. It lasted just long enough to be helpful and then it was gone. (I wonder if someone will say that about me someday – lol!) It was given to me 18 years ago by my sweet hubby. It was a fancy, refurbished machine and it was time to let it go.
So, since I have some money from my crochet sales, I decided to go shopping today from the comfort of my home office. I don’t sew enough to be really into the top machines. Just need one that will be reliable and do the job when I want to do craft sewing and a little quilting. I found this lovely Singer, pictured above, on Amazon. It was at a price point I could manage, it had great reviews, AND free shipping! So I purchased it. Yay! Can’t wait to receive it and try it out!
Do you sew? What kind of sewing do you do? I’d love to hear.
Joyfully,
Jackie
I sew. I tend to sew skirts for my girls, quilts, curtains, Halloween costumes, and recently piecing up my fibre art pieces (which is what I am doing at the moment. I have also made a really funky couch cover that you can see here http://htheblog.wordpress.com/2013/06/13/couch-before-after/
Enjoy your new machine!
I love that couch cover! And what an adorable picture of your daughter. Sounds like we do a lot of the same kinds of sewing. 🙂 Blessings!
Thank you for the compliment!
My daughter is a little princess (in a good way). She also has a speech delay so it is very cute the way she talks.
The story behind the couch cover is the structure was still good, but we were having a couple of sippy cup spills on it each week. I was tired of steam cleaning every week, so I made the cover out of the fabric designed for outside furniture and now any liquid beads up on it.
That’s perfect! And your daughter sounds precious.
Cars, sewing machines . . . what’s going to break down next at your house?! Have fun with it when it gets there! P.S.–I hate sewing.
Lol! Seriously! I am looking forward to it’s arrival for sure. 🙂
