Miss You Sew Much

Hey Fishy! Muffy came over this weekend. In addition to the fun hangingoutness, she also had some sewing needs. First, we looked at her Singer Featherweight, which is in need of professional repair. :-( So she couldn't fix the zipper in her coat, or make potholders, which she really needed.

Off to Jo-Ann we went to get some potholder fabric. And they had little White sewing machines on clearance!! It would have cost more than $80 to get the Featherweight fixed, and that's how much the machine was, so she got it! It does all the basic stitches, including a four step buttonhole.

We also got some Insul-Brite, which is this soft inside batting that also has a metalic layer, perfect for use in potholders and ironing board covers and such. So, after $80 for the new sewing machine, and about $5 of fabric and materials -- BEHOLD!! The $85 set of potholders! We had expected to spend about $5 and do them on my machine. Instead, we spent $85, and used the potholder project to sort of get acquainted with her machine. WHAT FUN!
