Recently, an artist from my class asked if I sew?
I think I might have laughed out loud.
I do have a tiny sewing machine, just 8 x 9 inches.
A 50's color of green, plastic, electric & battery-powered!
I bought it years ago for $9.99 or $19.99 ...
at a Michael's or somewhere ... forgetting my dismal skills,
but thinking that it should be worth at least that much?
Also, acknowledging that my sewing skills didn't merit more.
I can hear you thinking, I bet it doesn't work!
Well, it does (they tell me).
It came with bobbins, extra threads and even tiny scissors
for whoever would deem to buy a tiny plastic sewing machine.
this machine needs to come with a tiny elf
to help me with bobbins, threading etc.
I know my limitations pretty well.

Great videos!
RAF William is terrific!. You have immortalized him with your digital artistic magic. :-)
Great EVERYTHING!! ☮️💟✝️
How cute is your sewing machine! I do have a larger one, indeed I also have a serger and I use them a lot. I bought my first sewing machine with my first self earned money and i had it for about 30 years when one little part broke. With my new machine I love to sew dresses for my granddaughter and men shirts for my little grandson. He always asks me if I would sew something for him - just too cute.
Have a wonderful start into the new week, dear Jacki!
Thanks so much, Libby, I appreciate your visit.
Thanks, John! As I have said, I always think of you when I try to do a man.
Thanks so much, Paula. I love hearing from you and am hoping you and your terrific family are safe and well? Please tell "Michael Bates" hello for me.
Thank you, Elenor! It is a cute little sewing machine, right? It is here in my studio, somewhere? I will use it to sew paper as I love what stitching adds to a piece. I would get a second-hand real sewing machine, but I have trouble with tension settings, bobbins, and such. I sometimes draw stitches! I am sure your family enjoys your special work for them, what a treat!
