Another First by

Dear Diary,
Today I actually toured TSWLTH, a full frontal ten-finger digital
assault, and came out unscathed, wallet intact, having purchased
Nothing. Zip. Zero. Nada. This is a ground-shaking event, so I wanted
to record the happening for posterity.
I felt everything in the store--well, not...

Should I have bought it? by
FtForger
Its undoubtedly gone...but I the other day I saw an old Mongomery Ward
sewing machine. The old heavy metal body. It MAY have been a converted
treadle machine. There was a thigh bar for adjusting the speed, and it
was one of the ones built into a cabinet and I believe the machine
lowered into the...

Well, so much for working on the quilt by
Melinda Meahan - take out TRASH to reply
I won't be able to start working on it until the fall. DD will be home
for the summer, as the place she worked for before leaving for college
would like her back for the summer and she'll make more money working
fewer hours (like, the hourly rate at her old job is twice as much as it
is at school)...

OT.....NOT an Urban Legend by
Valkyrie
This is a heads-up to those friends who haven't
experienced it yet, and an
explanation to those friends and family who have.
Most of you have read the
scare-mail about the person whose kidneys were
stolen while he was passed

Reversible tote bag by
The Lady Gardener
Hi all
Does anyone know of a link to a pattern very simple, very basic reversible
tote/shoulder bag.
I did have one I made about 30+ years ago at school, but can't find it
anywhere (suspect it went in the last clean out).
Cheers

Quick jeans alteration by
[email protected]
Thought I'd share an alteration I often make to my jeans.
My figure is a bit thick around the middle; combine that with
short-waisted, and jeans always stop just shy of a good fit, being a
bit snug on the high hip and tight through the waist. Add a nice lunch,
and breathing becomes problematic.

Really basic question.... by

Reading the Vogue Sewing book, I came upon a description of the first
step in hand stitching.
It shows tying a simple knot and slipping this off the finger after the
thread is passed through the needle. Not a clue what to do with this
knot. Wife says it goes at the end of the thread to keep it...

In skimming through the posts here, I find discussion about quite a
few different serger models, but I don't see anything about White
