A New Toy

No more lugging Mom's 30 year old machine back and forth between our houses...look what I got for my birthday!


I found this antique sewing basket on Ebay for $7!
When I got it in the mail, I found it full of very old sewing materials, too.

I got my pin cushion at a fair trade store in Portsmouth, NH.
It was handmade in Guatemala and I love it!


I'm seeing hours and hours of fun in my future..

  1. I just got my second sewing machine at a yard sale... it's a 1950s singer with all of the extras for $20. DUDE! I was so excited I tripped and slid all the way down the road. Road rash = not fun.

    still going to e-mail you. Where do my days go?

  5. Look out! Here she comes armed with sewing gear!

    Just so you know, I just bought a new (very expensive) machine..I've been sewing since I can remember..and honestly, I'll take just about anything anyone gives me..but they told me in the store to ditch any thread that's more than a few years old! I was surprised actually..but I have had experience with bad thread (that was new, actually!) so I feel like I should listen ;)
