In the wardrobe / Re: Mood Patterns
« Last post by ScubaGirl on Today at 16:36:05 »
I've only made 2 Mood Sewciety patterns so far. The Eucalyptus shorts (actually made 3 of the same shorts pattern) and the Gardenia skirt (made 2 of them so far), and both turned out really well. I really like the fit of them. I plan to make more (a blouse pattern is all printed out).

The instructions are rather "no frills", which I actually like (I can't stand faffing through 40 pages of instructions for an a-line skirt). But youtube is your friend if you need to know how to do any of the things.

Hmmm. The motor went in, and it worked.  Kind of.  I've now discovered that there is a gear spring in the hand wheel that is broken.  Bother!!!  Looks like I'll have to buy a whole handwheel just for that part, if I can find one...

Done a bit more to the striped top but not feeling great, it looks wonky to me so no photo!  Had enough for today.

OOOO nice - the slightly more lightweight version of the old 201K, a marvellous machine!  Absolutely love them, and enjoy the stitches!

Still trying to put my sewing room into a workable space again, why is it whenever we sew using machines they always seem to generate a lot of dust and debris and clutter,  but it is fun to be able to sew so mustn't grumble about clearing up.

I'm a bit more with it, this afternoon and working on the yoke of my Nicks blouse. I'm glad I had the sense to leave it alone, yesterday. I just need to remember to remove the big piece of tape saying FACING! before I turn it all the right way out.

Sewing Machines / Guess what I've got!
« Last post by Greybird on Today at 13:42:26 »
 My daughter visited at the weekend and before she came she asked if she could bring this machine which she bought a couple of years ago and hadn't used. I thought she wanted help playing with it (she's relatively new to sewing), but no, she was giving it to me! Now we've got the bobbin in the right way up it runs and stitches beautifully! Sadly I don't have anywhere to leave it set up permanently so I will have to develop some muscles to carry it up and down stairs as necessary.
