WIP Wednesday


Wait, what? 

Well, it IS a WIP, even if it's not quilt related.  :)  I wanted to show off my exciting new purchases, not only  a Judy (whose name is Jezebel) but a new back-up sewing machine:




Please say hello to Miss L'Rae.  (I don't know why she wants to be called that either, but I'm afraid.  lol)

Anyway - I got her on Saturday and so far, she's sewed a saucy red linen dress and the beginnings of a coat with no problems.  She runs very smoothly, but is of course not nearly as strong as Pinky (my Juki). 

I did try sewing a binding on "Orange You Glad" and she didn't seem to mind it, but that's not her purpose.  She's for sewing clothes and occasional piecing, and to serve as the aforementioned back up should things go badly wrong with Pinky (which I don't expect).

In the meantime, work continues apace on my new fall coat



And there are going to be some changes to my blog - what I post and what the blog will look like, even how I post - coming soon.  New directions mean new blogging too, apparently.  :)

Talk soon,

Kit

  1. Miss L'Rae looks classy and smart. Very good idea to have a reliable backup machine especially when creative sanity is at stake:))Looking forward to the new look blog!

  2. Hey, a WIP is a WIP no matter what. Just keep on sewing so those creative juices don't dry up and you have to start all over. You know what I mean. Trying to get in the mood to just do something is sometimes a major issue if the juices have dried up.
