Cruise Control



Steve surprised me with a new sewing machine for Christmas.  As I opened the wrapping paper I was a little dismayed to see the amount of buttons this puppy came with.  It looked complicated.  Within about 10 or 15 minutes I had the bobbin loaded, the machine threaded and started sewing some test patterns.  Turns out it is pretty easy.  You can even push a button and it will sew on its own.  Cruise control.  It is pretty darn awesome.  This machine does not come close to Stephanie's fancy one - but for a point and shoot gal like me, it's just fine.

I don't plan on getting rid of my vintage Kenmore...when my sisters visit we will be able to do twice the sewing.

Some of those will be fancy hems for our apron empire. We need to craft a pattern called "The Betty Neels".

Oh my. That's quite the machine you have. I'm thinking that I need to be wearing the latest "Betty Neels".

Sue-It would have to be either an uncrushable jersey dress, or a Laura Ashley pattern....
