It's been a very, very good machine and has made everything from bridal veils to quilts to denim hems with efficiency. But it just can't keep it's timing correct anymore and so I said goodbye to my trusted friend and bought a new machine. <br /><br /><br />A good sewing tool of any kind is such a treasure.

I am planning to make your pleated bubble #102 for my son's Easter outfit, and I think I will make a detachable collar so I can make a fancy spoke-style batiste and lace collar and he can get more wear out of the bubble after that. Do you have any suggestions for how I might attach it to the back button? I asked this on the MP children's construction forum too and a sweet lady recommended a thread loop or two buttonholes on the collar to button over the top button. I don't know if on a 1-year old the collar really needs to be anchored or not. Do you have any suggestions? If my email doesn't show up--it's letter.to.memphis at hotmail.com. Thank you so much for your wonderful blog and patterns!

But, I couldn't imagine replacing it until now. I just can't stay attached to EVERYTHING!! But...I will give it ONE LAST CHANCE!!Smocking with Gwenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12784181348617013561noreply@blogger.com
