Vintage stitching
My wonderful Bernina sewing machine has gone to be serviced and I miss it so much. But, a girl has to keep stitching, so I've got out my Mum's machine, this beautiful Singer Featherlight.
And...joy of joys..... the tray has lots of different attachments including a ruffle foot.
I was delighted to sell the Fabric and Lace journal in my Etsy shop, it is on it's way to Nichole in the US, (Thank you Nichole) so now I'm ready to start on another.
Three hand stamped tags with pink hand dyed ribbon,
three pieces cotton lawn stamped with French text
around an old rose and a lavender scented heart.
I added three pretty organza roses, a hand made tag and a decorated clothes pin to complete the package.
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend, keep warm if you're in the snow,
enjoy an iced drink if you're in Australia's heat.

I remember her making things on this machine and today I've unwound the bobbins and removed various colours of thread from the bobbins, some must go back years it made me a little sad too.
Despite not being used for a long time it sews an excellent straight stitch so I've cleaned her and oiled her and I'm good to go.

Looking through my fabrics and pictures I am inspired to use these
lovely shades of purple and this pretty girl.
I have some cotton lawn fabric which I stamped and just need to choose some laces and trims before I start.
It's snowing outside so I'm home for the weekend, just me and my sewing machine.
I'm adding a pretty supplies kit with a rose theme to my Etsy shop

I love your Featherweight and am lucky enough to have one as well - I really should get it out and sew with it more - it does do a beautiful straight stitch!
You've inspired me Angela, and also your busyness in your Etsy shop - congratulations on selling your journal.
Have a wonderful and warm weekend,
