So I previously showed a new project that I was working on, and started sewing away. Then my machine jammed up. No one told me that you are supposed to change your needle about every project (which I've never done, and I've sewn miles) and I hadn't cleaned out the lint in a while. So I had to get a tune up, which now my machine purrs and doesn't make a clunking sound. figures.
The last couple days have been a whirlwind of sewing, I got a lot done. I'm pretty happy with the outcome, I'll show it off this week. I got to use neon thread and some favorite thrifted neon stripe fabric.
I am getting ready to fly out west to sunny Portland tomorrow, I can't wait. I'll be catching up on some dearly missed twin time, and to see my nephew running around. I'm usually pretty terrible about blogging while I'm gone, so there may be a post in the next week, or not. But I'll be all over instagram (username: secretpocket) probably showing off every meal I eat, and lots of theo photos.
See you soon!

i'm planning on living vicariously through your instagram food photos... the best food ever there. have so much fun!
ReplyDeleteUntil I bought my new sewing machine I didn't know that you have tochange your needle after each big project, that you should clean the lint out and oil it.... I had bee sewing for about 10 years with the same needle!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful time in Portland! Hopefully you'll have some sun...but I wouldn't count on it! Fortunately it won't dampen your spirits at all since you'll be with your twinny.
