Threading the Sewing Machine

 
I did it...
got the book out
then followed directions to thread
Mom's sewing machine
 
um, been meaning to do that
since I moved here over a year ago
there's no denying
my procrastination skills
 
no cats were harmed
during the trial run of stitches
lovely even stitches
how long can that last
until the tension goes wonky on me
 
hemmed a night gown for mom
mended scrub pockets
(they always get caught on things it seems)
 
today it's more hemming
turning some long pants into capris for mom
rarely does she want long pants on
 
after that...
it's getting to the paperwork and phone calls
about the house purchase
tentative date for closing is August 22
 
Happy Weekend!

That is one thing I love about the new machines, threading for dummies, lol. I should use mine more for clothing and really want to, just need to add more hours to the day;)
