Sewing Machine.

I have a sewing machine.
Someone was giving it away, so my Mum & Dad collected it for me, as I don't have one.
I have a deep desire to sew.
I made my kids' Christmas stockings last year,
They turned out FABULOUS.
This has convinced me, I secretly have pro-sewer potential.
The only downfall is I do not understand how to thread a bobbin.
I now, after 10 years, know the PURPOSE of a bobbin, but I still need my Mum to thread it for me.
I think she'll have to teach me.
For now, I am going to fantasize about all the wonderful things I want to sew.
I want to sew pretty clothes for my kids.
I want to sew pretty nappies for them.
I want to sew pretty cushions & teddybears.
I am thinking a trip to Spotlight and Lincraft is a MUST in the next few weeks, just to give me some idea's, and hopefully, I can get some awesome bargains on materials to practice being a pro-sewer.!!

  2. Oh that would be fantastic, thank you.!
    The one I got is an older style Jenome. I do aim to have something more whiz-bang, but whilst I'm learning, it's not too bad for a freebie.!!
