Hello all,
I just completed McCalls 7092 which is a cute tunic from their Palmer/Pletsch collection.

Hello all,
I just finished Vogue 1329 and could not be happier with the end result. Here is the picture from the Vogue website.
A few years ago I bought a Pfaff Hobbylock. I brought it home and promptly named it Fraulein Schweiger (name that movie). It wasn’t a big investment and has served me well through garments, costumes, drapes and so on. In its short time with me, it has pumped out miles of lovely finished seams.
I wasn’t always diligent at keeping it as lint free as one should, however I did give it an overhaul every month or two; removing debris and oiling the moving parts.
But lately it seemed that I fought with it more often than not. So, while out running errands today, I took it in for servicing.
The lovely gentleman there truly made me an offer I couldn’t refuse. He paid me just shy of my original purchase price to trade in on a new serger. The cost to repair was such that it just didn’t make sense to do anything other than take the deal. Sigh, what’s a girl to do.
Here is my shiny new Janome, fresh out of the box. 
Happy Valentines Day indeed!
Andrea
Hello all,
After a very trying week, I spent a couple of self indulgent days in my sewing room working on Vogue 8825.
