I have been sewing away making things for a couple of upcoming markets where I will have stalls (hence the animals in my last post). It is at times like this one has a long list of “to makes” and a number of projects to finish off. It is NOT the time for your ever faithful sewing machine to die!!
It was 1pm and I was finishing up some new baby toys I’d made when the tension died and a curly mass of thread appeared underneath the fabric on every line I sewed…NOOOOOOOOO!!! What was I to do with only 5 days of sewing before the market? … Ring mum… “Something terrible has happened…” She was relieved to hear that a dead sewing machine was as bad as it got…
A couple of hours later this was the sight on my front table…
Can you tell which one is still working? The one on the left is mum’s - I am missing the magnetic strip that holds my pins though… must get mine serviced. Thanks mum for coming to the rescue – it’s a bonus that they are the same model machine so no adjusting to do.
I kept sewing last night and finished these baby toys. I’m pleased with the way they turned out as they’ve been merely an idea in my head for a number of years now.
Here’s to the faithful sewing machine- which will remain more reliable if I get it serviced more regularly!!!
Happy stitching to you all!

Thank goodness for you Mum's sewing machine, I consider my Mum's machine as my spare :)
The owls and butterflies are so sweet, clever you.
Your baby toys are adorable! And SNAP! My sewing machine is the same model too :) Thank goodness you have your Mum nearby to help you out, it just would NOT DO to not have a sewing machine. Good luck with your stall xxx
Your baby toys are TOO cute! Do you have a pattern?
Too cute! Good luck with the markets
Mums are great aren't they, although my mum has never owned a sewing machine so i would not be calling on her if mine broke. Your baby toys are so cute. Very clever.
Good luck with your stall
