I thought you may be interested to see the machine I sew on. :) My mom's old one, purchased in 1972. I am excited--she found the manual for me a couple weeks ago--very helpful! And hubby already used the diagrams to take something apart and try to find out why the zigzag doesn't work!
I tried another version of a diaper and wipes holder (why? Just something small to work on and learn on, I guess. This one used the method from the
easy peasy snap wallet (thanks for the link, b.l.!)
Of course, I had to make some modifications--next time I will put interfacing right up to the seam edge, because otherwise it's just dumpy. I first had a pretty ribbon to tie it closed, but hubby's voice of reason that it was a little to hard to quickly get in and out of won me over. Anyway, I did sew on my first snap! (even though in retrospect, it wasn't in just the right spot, but I took too long on it to move it!)
Sewing is definitely a learning process for me--and makes me appreciate all the fine seamstresses I know, and the fine things my mom and grandmas and aunts have made me!
