It’s been a while since my last blog post!
My professional life has turned into a serious drama, and it basically has cut into my free time for sewing. So, until my work situation clears up a bit, updates to this blog might be a little less regular than they normally are.
But, here’s a recap on things going on here at the Line of Selvage studio:
New Gadgets and Goodies
My new coverstitch machine has arrived from Ken’s Sewing Center. This is a replacement Brother 2340CV for the one that arrived damaged from Amazon. I didn’t want to risk getting another damaged/defective item from Amazon, and I’m no longer trustful of the way they ship large-ish machinery.
The good news is that the new machine seems to work fine; the bad news is I haven’t had much time to play with it other than do some test stitching. More on this as it develops.
Also, after watching the new Craftsy class “Sew Better, Sew Faster” (see below) I’ve gone ahead and purchased the extension table accessory for my Brother PC-210 conventional machine. I’m looking forward to using it on my next project.
PR Men’s Sewing Challenge
I’m going to try to enter the PatternReview Men’s Sewing Challenge, from August 1-15. Two weeks isn’t a lot for me at the speed I complete projects, but I’m going to give it a try.
A week or so ago, I went shopping at the Fabric Outlet 40% Off sale and got a cut of denim-color chambray with a floral print that I thought would make a nice button-down shirt for the boyfriend. He likes the idea too.
