Here is what I have been up to....making fAiRiE dolls!
I have been trying to create the perfect pattern that will be easy to cut out and stitch up. I keep drawing and cutting and drawing again...sigh....cutting again and stitching....it IS a process...
.....but they are pretty cute, don't you think? .....sigh
...and here is my little old Singer Featherweight machine. The year after my hubby and I were married, my mother-in-law and I found it at a warehouse in El Paso, Texas. It was $60. I could not afford it, so my "MiL" pitched in $30. I made many little pairs of pants and jackets and overalls for my boys when they were little. It stitches forward and backward - that's IT! My mom gave me a buttonhole attachment for it one Christmas, but I never have tried it.
It is in great shape and continues to purr along when I need to sew something up. This photo does NOT do it justice. It is so much prettier in person xo
Wendy, my friend in Lakeside sold me her aunt's Featherweight for fifty bucks and I used it to make about 2,000 Buckaroo Bibs, then I found out they are very popular and sell for about $500 to the quilters so I sold it back to her and got a vintage 1970's Singer at a garage sale for $20. it's very pretty. a classic. and a workhorse. I love your Believe fairies. if you want some of my Sharyn Sowell hearts you know where they are!
