Bits of random {sewing edition}

1. My sewing machine is officially dead. I even may have cried a bit when I finally came to grips with that fact. I just took it in for a tune up, and they declared the cam is broken and they cannot get replacement parts for it due to its advanced age. Sad fish. Even worse, I am in the midst of a crisis project that needs to be done by tomorrow.

2. I also found the cutest tutorial here for curtains that would be perfect for the freshly painted second bedroom or perhaps the guest room, but I suppose I will just have to hang onto the pattern until I have a replacement machine.

3. I attempted to finish my crisis project last night by hand. It did not go so well. Who sews by hand these days anyway?

4. Last weekends adventure to S Utah made me really really wish for a quilters long arm sewing machine which unfortunately is not in my future due to the $12,000 price tag. Yes I did type that correctly if you are wondering.

I want to cry now. Can somebody get me a hankie?
