...this is what my Mom got me for Christmas...which is actually a very useful gift for me as I often buy some of the more difficulte to find vegan food from Amazon...so don't think I wasn't thrilled with the gift...I was...
...and this is what I bought with the gift card...not vegan food...haha...
...
my old sewing machine is kindof on it's last legs...and it is really old...and has sewn miles and miles of Lutheran World Relief quilts...and all kinds of other general sewing as well...
...and I well remember buying it...I was a sophomore in college...and saved and saved for it...$120...a lot of money back then...and it has been well loved and well used...but as my sweet sissie told me on the phone..."things do sometimes just wear out and can't be fixed..."
...and speaking of my sweet sissie...
she recommended the Singer Heavy Duty sewing machine...because she got one to sew sturdy covers for her boat...
...so I got it out of the box and set it all up...easy peasie...(I follow instructions well)...
...and for the first project...these old slippers are in bad need of some new soles...
you may remember that they got new soles once before...sewn with my old sewing machine...
...I just roughly cut out some pieces from an old vinyl tablecloth in the stash...and the new "heavy duty" sewing machine sewed right through it...
...all done...
...neatly trimmed...
...and back on my feet...
~Have a lovely day!
Neato! It's a nice machine, isn't it? Love, K
