puff



i have been obsessed with the idea of sewing, and yesterday evening i managed to make a little puff sleeve shirt. in the morning it was still without buttons. my old machine cooperated somewhat, but i want to say, for the record, that i'm sewing with a machine that starts sewing by itself when i put the power on, and i can't sew backwards at all. it gets stuck to the backwards mode if i do. so no buttonholes. i sew small press-on buttons on the back. with these two malfunctions i can live with. Y came back from town with S's old machine that needs fixing. now i will start to zigzag some pants!

You are quick! Sounds somewhat adventurous with your sewing machine, but the result of your battle looks very sweet!

I should also get started with my sewing again... There is a pile of fabrics and old clothes waiting to be turned into something useful.

good work - considering the crazy sewing machine and all - very pretty!

considering, yeah... but it works, she likes it. now there are also pants in the same fabric. not to be worn simultaneously.
sewing was on your summer list, Karen! so do it!
today i will change fabric.
