I am very jealous!  I am sewing on my little black 222 tonight.  I want a white, but they are as rare as an honest politician.

I just thought to put a cheeky offer in, was very surprised that it got accepted. The seller has 100% positive reviews, but is not specialised in sewing machines. Hence, I got it for the price of a black one  :)

She is here  <3
She sews like a champ and purrs like a kitten, very happy with it. However, she needs a lot of cleaning and TLC, but first I need to work on the last university assignment for the current module  :\

You have a great incentive for getting on with the assignment though!   0_0
