Now the only time you’ll see me using this is when I’ve something to
press when I’m crafting. Usually it involves glue or paint, so the
iron hasn’t got the cleanest surface.
The other time I might get an urge to use it is when the boiler conks
in the middle of a shower and the water runs cold. You might see me
swinging it round my head on its way to clonking the wandering welder.
Here he is hands on hips giving it a good coat of looking at.
I’ll just get out off the way for a bit. No I’m not leaving him,
It’s my sewing machine. Hmm ! I could clonk him with that.
I’m having sewing lessons up the road in Bacup. Last week
I learned the in and outs of my machine and this week I made
this tote bag.
I don’t think the Sewing Bee will be seeking me out.
Gail’s a fabulous teacher but my brain is not wired for accuracy,
measuring, cutting straight and pattern matching. It’s on a par
with crotcheting. I can’t do that either. I’ll stick at it though,
there’s two more weeks to go at yet, so you never know.
Thursday morning I had another great zoom meeting with the
No Rules Textile Society. Lots of giggles, exchanging of ideas and a
look at what folk had been doing for the Nature Prompt.
After lunch I went onto do a bit more
experimenting.
Then I messed about with bondaweb, dissolvable fabric and paint.
It took all my brain power to work out what I wanted to achieve,
but I’m persistent and stick at it till I get a result.
Finally some free motion embroidery, dried thistles and a wooden bobbin.
And all the while this cheeky chap was swinging from the bird feeder
right in front of the window.
There’s a meal out with friends planned for Saturday afternoon
and then Sunday all the world and his wife will be glued to the telly
cheering England on.
Enjoy yourselves whatever you’re upto.
