...yes, a box! But what is in that box??? Well, it is something that is going to surprise you. Honestly, I am a little surprised that it popped out of my mouth when telling my mom what I wanted for my birthday (which isn't till May, by the way, but who am I to turn down an early present). Let me give you a couple of hints
~ It is from Amazon.com
~ It was under $100.00
~ I have no idea what to do with the thing
~ I have bought one before
So if you haven't guessed by now then...you are everyone reading this. Those hints where horrible! OK, OK I will spill the beans. My mom bought me a SEWING MACHINE! Let me give you a second to climb back into the chair you just fell out of.
OK you back with me now? Yes, my mom bought me a sewing machine for about $100 from Amazon.com that does come with a manual and is a lot newer then the one I already have
It is a Brother Sew Advance Sew Affordable 25-Stitch Free-Arm Sewing Machine. Um and if any of you actually know what any of that means please let me know.
But I have made some progress...I took it out of the box. Hey one step at a time here people! And the good news is it looks great in my work room.
Beyond that I have no idea what to do with it. But one of my lovely clients has offered to come tutor me on the basics and really the basics are all I want. Sew straight lines is goal number one. My client said I should also learn how to do zippers and maybe buttons. Eek...one step at a time.
I also have my sister-in-law on speed dial for disaster situations. She is a sewing pro and hopefully doesn't mind me calling in a total panic when I have managed to sew myself to something. Oh, you know it is going to happen.
In conclusion, this may have been a really misguided idea. I may get so frustrated that it is back in the box and on its way back to Amazon by weeks end, but with any luck I will be sewing up a storm (or a few straight lines) but May. Wish me luck!
