Sewing this now...



A true display of my ingenious self (aka lazy), 
I needed to piece in some more fabric for ruffling so I left the ruffled part attached and moved the featherweight next to the big guy to strait stitch in the additional fabric needed.
One more reason why we all need more then one sewing machine!

Antique shop finds...

I was a lucky girl yesterday and found:
A old composition doll with blinking eyes, Victorian carved mother of pearl buttons, and a stunning book from 1885 (in amazing condition)

Ruffling on my 221 sewing machine from 1938.
Giving me hope that getting older is not all that bad!
