New sewing machine

Last weekend I bought a sewing machine, my first ever. It is Singer Confidence 7463. I have been only using someone else's machines before and it is really handy to have your own. I already made a little light curtain (net?) for the living room window and was happy with that machine. It is easy to use. So I have been happy so far. I actually have some other works, what need to be done. I have to sew more curtains and there are some clothes waiting to get altered or fixed. It is so different to use that machine than the probably 50-years-old machine I was using lately, which belongs to my boyfriend's grandmother.

Waiting for the really hot summer days, if we get them here in Ireland at all this summer.

Creative moment

The other day I felt violent. I took my knife and...cut some old magazines. I wanted to test my new craft knife. I made two little things just cutting the paper. First I drew the lines of the figures on the selected pages of magazines. Then cut them with that knife and glued the pieces on white sheets. Simple. A nice and quick way to make something to hang on the walls. You could even change the pictures every day.

Three birds.



Sail away.
