So last night I made a bed spread for the day bed at Mama Boots’
house. It was super hard work and took forever. My hands are killing me from
maneuvering all the fabric around. It is soooo freakin hard to sew when you
have like 20 pounds of quilting fabric and fluff to move around and get under a
little needle. Speaking of needles, I had to get a new sewing machine too.
Turns out the sewing machine Chris had got me last Christmas was defective from
the beginning. The whole line has a timer problem but mom picked up a new
Singer Simple that was on sale at Joann’s. I think the only reason she got it
was because she really really REALLY wanted me to finish her bed spread. This
unfortunately was my 4th machine now, which is why my mom was reluctant to get
me another. My first machine literally blew up. I was working with denim and
some material got in the lower part of the machine where the bobbin goes and
got stuck, which broke something, that bounced around in the main part of the
machine, and then the inside caught on fire and started to smoke....... yeah.
And then my aunt sent me her old machine that ended up broken in the mail. And
then the defective one Chris got me. And now I am on my latest and this
one works great and it’s super easy to use. Now that I have enough strength to
use one again, I can work on my cosplays I have lined up!!! YAY!!!!
