My Singer Has Lost Its Voice
My Singer sewing machine, that is. No, that's not MY machine in the picture, but it is a beauty. Mine really needs to be taken in for a repair. The bobbin thread isn't catching and I think the timing is off in general. Bummer. Why do I feel the urge to use it when I can't? Maybe now I can get a bunch of things cut out and ready to go.
I found a sweet pale yellow cotton with pink and white dots for a dollar today. I think it will be a good summer dress for Juliana...or maybe pajamas for me...hmmm. Wash and cut.
After chores, that is. Thanks to Susan and her Mother's Rule of Life, I actually have a schedule to follow. I know, how very un-Sara...but boy does it help. Speaking of which. I have a bathroom to clean...maybe I'll make a trip to the repair shop after the kids wake up.
Here's to getting things done.

Hey Sara!
Glad to see you're blogging again, I missed you during Lent!
What is your e-mail address? I'd like to send you the link to Vasilia's online photos :)
Take care!
sorry to hear about the sewing machine. mine's a 14 year old janome which kurt bought for me when we first got married (he sold his snow-board for it! that's love)
I've been sewing up a storm lately too. a baptismal outfit for my friend's baby (dupioni silk, so luxurious), and now Avery wants a 'flowy' skirt.
hope it's back in commission soon!
and thanks for the wonderful resource. that site is wonderful.
carol...prep work is a drag. Yeah for cuffs. I'm excited...thanks!
victoria...i love dupioni silk. my wedding dress was a cream dupioni, i loved it. i recently made a baptismal gown for one of the babies at church...it was my first. my friend appliqued a beautiful three bar cross on the front of it. Have fun with avery's skirt :) oh that mrol website is really cool, the book is even better, you should check it out...and read susan's posts on it she summarizes it really well.
I'm sewing impaired. I am in awe of those of you who can sew.
I'm sorry the machine is down.
