My 1st Sewing Machine

My 1st Sewing Machine

Helluuu Pussycats! 
I was going thru photos today trying to organize 
some of my many, many folders online.
( I really need to print most of these
and get them into a real photo album and off the hard drive)

I found this one and thought I might share.
My 1st Sewing Machine

I can't even tell you how many hours I spent on this
little machine.
Making clothes for Barbies and other dolls.
I am sure at some point my Mum might have
regretted buying my this b/c it became an
obsession that took over most of the house.
I wanted to sew on the kitchen table.
I wanted to lay out everything to cut on the
dining room table.
We grew up in a little bungalow home so
there wasn't a lot of floor space but I managed
to somehow cover most of it in fabric, patterns
and notions.
Ask my Dad about finding pins in his bare feet!!
Hahah!!! I still hear about it today ;)

It wasn't long that I graduated to a "real" machine.
Altho- that machine did go pretty fast and the needle was sharp.
(I might be dating myself by admitting the toys we played with
didn't have many safety features!)

Anyhow- just goes to show you never know what
might happen when you give your child a toy
that can open up all kinds of creative pleasures & outlets.
Thanx Mum for getting me this!!!
I am sure I wouldn't have turned out to be an accountant anyhow
but this really did point me in the right direction :)

Have a great day Pussycats!
Be in touch, Luv Weezi xo



Hand dyed slips

Finished Slips

Hellu Pussycats!
Here are some pics of the finished dyed slips
that I talked about on Wednesday.





I am really thrilled with how they turned out.
Too pretty to just wear under dresses.
They make great night gowns too :)

Have a great afternoon Pussycats!
Be in touch! Luv Weezi :)
