First I have to tell you I am SO glad that Eric is back from Japan. I had not been sleeping or eating well, which is what always happens when E is gone for more than a day or 2. Last night I went to bed at 8pm and did not wake up until 6ish. So I am feeling much much better!
This is as far as I got before I gave up and went to try and get new thread. |
Yesterday I managed to finish my lap top sleeve.
It took me longer than I anticipated. Since I was not using a pattern and just making it up as I went along there were a few construction issues along the way. For example closure of the flap. I had planned initially to use Velcro. But when I got to that step I discovered I was out of Velcro and was too lazy and cheap to go and buy any. So I decided to make the closure a tie.
In the end this was a good decision because now every time I open my lap top sleeve it is like opening a little present. It is pretty cool. My new machine did a great job on this project, sewed right through a crazy number of layers with no issues at all.
I am hoping that the thread and fabric issue is just a small one. I will be super disappointed if the machine cannot handle delicate fabrics as well as it should. We shall see what I manage to come up with later today.
I have gone to the grocery store and done all the things I have to do today so I am going to spend the rest of my day sewing! Well until it is time to make dinner, and feed the fam and then go to a volunteer committee meeting. Marion's school wants me to head the fall festival committee, what do you think? Should I do it?
