Another gray, rainy day here in the Midwest. My little guy and I were hoping to work in the yard today, but no luck. Instead, I pulled out Reid's over sized Thomas the Train tent and set it up in the living room (much to my husband's chagrin). Then I decided to focus on sewing.
It had been quite awhile since I had my trusty Kenmore sewing machine out of the closet. I pulled out my 1940's sew-a-long project that I did not have time to work on sooner and got started. First thing first, I needed to prepare a bobbin, which isn't a big deal but I always like to have my machine's owner's manual handy to check tension suggestions and for trouble-shooting. For some reason, I could not find it. I looked and looked through all my craft stashes with no luck. That took about an hour in between occupying my son who was excited about my machine. Finally, in desperation I checked the internet and luckily I could find a reprint of the manual on the website, Manuals On-line. A lot has changed since I last had my sewing machine out for a project. So with machine threaded and ready to go, I realized I had pinned my pattern onto the "right" side of the fabric. By the time the pattern was repinned and cut out, it was time to make supper for everyone. Still progress made--and it was nice to reconnect with an "old" friend, my trusty Kenmore. Here are pictures of the day. They may be a little dark, since there was NO SUN anywhere and my kitchen faces the north, which does not help.
Have a happy, crafting day!
