House Beautiful / Decisions…
« on: August 10, 2021, 16:05:02 PM »
I’ve been absent for various reasons I won’t bore you all with.
I’m decorating the kitchen, I’m having my green range cooker powder coated in blue ( plain swatch)  I’ve bought the wallpaper( jelly bean type pattern in the middle).
I need a large curtain for the patio doors and a blind…. Can’t decide, which do you think is best.

I have very few summer dresses... not that I’m going anywhere.
This is Simplicity 8872. A great easy pattern, easy to fit and the sleeve is a new favourite.

Vintage Machines / Difference...
« on: March 17, 2021, 16:10:19 PM »
The same but different...
The pink one is stitched using the fashion discs on a 348 and the blue is using the same discs on a 306k. The 306k seems to have a wider stitch capability than the 348. The 306k was much smoother and quieter but  the blue 348 is much prettier!
Having trouble with both foot controls getting very hot.
