look what I got for Christmas
It does about a gazillion different stitches, letters and all sorts of things I've not even discovered yet!
I'm hoping it'll do the ironing and help The Big Sister learn her times tables.
Sadly it's not been properly light here for days so the photos are pants.
So far I've sewn lots of rows trying out the different stitches and a fleecey little bag to keep my MP3 player in. It's like learning all over again as I go to push the reverse button and it's not in the right place, the hi tech nature of the automatic needle threader has me sticking my tongue out of the side of my mouth in concentration and it's a bit like going from driving a Reliant Robin to Ferrari in one jump! I love it!
I was also really lucky in the Secret Santa swap as my partner Toni sent me some wonderful surprises
patchwork squares, a button filled pincushion, floral and gingham bias binding, sweeties......oh my goodness and the most amazing runner. I've not got the colours right here so sorry Toni, but it is a lovely selection of icy, wintry fabrics. Thanks so much!
