I bought the sewing machine today.
It is still sitting in the box at the front door.
It may never see the outside of that box.
I haven't the faintest how to use it.
I vaguely remember the apron we had to do in grade 8 (Mrs Trudjian, our home ec teacher, and yes, the name fits the image of her.)
I need to hem a dress of k's and take up a pair of pants I bought. So I bought the cheapy sewing machine to do that, basically.(The ones at the local janome store had too many extra zeros in the price tag....they could probably cook up a roast at the same time as overlocking though. Well, they would want to for the price!)
I am not having second thoughts, just letting it sink in for a while.
I mean, I bought an iron earlier this year, and now a sewing machine.
Since when did I become so Martha???
OMG I had Mrs Trudjian too! I think she may even still be there! She must be close to 70, no? (For those who do not know, T & I went to the same highschool but several years apart and we didn`t know each other)
ReplyDeleteI am happy to hear you bought it. Go back to the post I did on sewing because some friends posted some good links for begginers! I plan to get mine out later this week or on the weekend- So I wish you luck, if you wish me luck!!!
I don`t own an iron though, so you are more martha than me!
OMG, I had Mrs Trudjian too! This is so freaky girls! That we all went to the same high school! What year did you graduate T? I graduated in 1992. Then went to Seiwa on exchange in 1993.
ReplyDeleteGlad to see you got your sewing machine! And nice choice! Same one as I got! Wish I had more time to use it thought.
Wow, I still cant get over the fact that we all went to the same high school! Insane!
Lulu, hey, mrs trudge-on was like 70 when I was at school, haha.
ReplyDeleteI graduated '93 and was at Seiwa (our sister school in Nagasaki for the uninitiated) on exchange in '94, so I think Nooh now knows who I am (that sounds like a line out of Dr. Suess)
Nooh, sorry, I thought that you already realised who it was when you commented here the first time. I sent you a msg on facebook....
It really is a small world, though, isn't it!
FWIW, the sewing machine is still in the box....but I have saved all the links from your blog, lulu - hopefully that will get me started!
Have you planned the great unveiling of the machine yet? I do the same thing. :) Letters from my PIL ten to wait unopened for quite a while... ;)
ReplyDeleteummmm, still in the box. Am hoping to unveil the beast sometime before Xmas (haha) Will keep everyone posted.
