This weeks Just a Moment meme is all about sewing, the machine and the space.

I have a small space but at least I can leave my machine and treasure set up all the time, I know if I didn't I would never sew.

Last year my singer of 28 years just wore out, I had purchased it new in Darwin and it had travelled far and wide with me. The poor machine had sewed so much the parts were completely worn out and the only way it would live to fight another day would be to find that exact same machine and use the parts, yes there were tears.

I rallied, finally and bought a Janome middle of the range and after a few tense moments we are great pals.

I know my sewing table looks a mess but it is organised sort of, I know exactly where everything is.

The pile of spots and stripes on the table is a stripey longish top, which needs a little help, I'm thinking about adding a pocket and some embellishment.

Pop over to Jody's and see who sews with what.

Sewing Again

Finally my new sewing machine has arrived, living in the country often means you just can't have it today.

Somehow I managed to wear out my Singer which was only 25 years old, I know that's probably quite old for a mechanical item especially the millions of miles we have sewn together.

Now I have a Janome and most importantly with a top loading bobbin and to my delight while I was reading the instructions, it has a needle threader!

Now I can finish the dress I started last week.
