my first bit of sewing ! by
Happy Poor
I sewed 2 patches together last night in backstitch

the Blue and White represents Blackburn Rovers
and it may catch on...

Janome Harmoney 4052 sewing machine by
Moll
I used my Janome Harmony 4052 sewing machine 4 times in less than 2 yrs
it jumped timing neither Sears nor Janome will fix it without charge.
It was used for simple repairs of lightweight materials to fix seams in
shirts or pajamas, you get the idea. Sears certified repair center
doesn't even have...

oiling, and have no complaints other than a couple :-).... are these

Good use for oddball fabric scraps by
jes
I picked up this idea at a SPCA web site. Volunteers make sleeping
pads for the animals. Some animals are given their pad when they
leave the shelter. It's comforting to have something with its own
scent.
They should be washable, durable and survive strong disinfecting.
