Finally my new best friend came in the mail today. The beautiful Brothers CS-6000i computerized sewing machine. Dude it even has an automatic threader! It's kinda like I'm not even sewing, just hanging out making a dress, what?
There are 60, that's right 60 built in stitches for your enjoyment. This thing comes with a hard protection case and an oversized table for large projects. I purchased it on amazon for $169! I swear this machine makes my Singer feel like a dinosaur (sorry mom:)
So I started making Harlow a couple summer outfits, but by the time I actually finish them I'm pretty sure summer will be over. It's not like you can really get anything done with a 6 month old baby, but I'll try.
JoAnns Fabric has really stepped it up lately in their selections. I picked up a Rachel Shelburne retro fabric here on sale and one with little birds and trees too. Also I bought two simple McCall's patterns dress and hat and a Laura Ashley
I'll post photos when I make more progress.
I'm off to the library to return my Self Sufficiency books and check more out about how to build a chicken coop. Mmm fresh eggs coming soon.
Im soooooo finding thant and buying it up!!! It sounds like a dream compared to my brother! Good work!
