My daughter had asked years ago if she could have my old Kenmore when she moved out. This machine was one of my best friends long ago. I made baby layettes and quilts, school clothes and Easter outfits, wedding party dresses and accessories, countless curtains, pillows and crafts. Not to mention a couple of phases with antinque clothing reproduction, everyday dresses and stuffed doll and animal making. It was a true workhorse. A. was not interested in sewing growing up so her recent request for me to honor my promise of passing it down has made me happy. Whether it is only used for mending or the occasional pillow here and there, it will be useful and create memories once again. Since she has limited space in her apartment and it will have to sit out on a shelf on her desk, I decided to make a cover to match her asian inspired decor!
Looks a little wonkie, but ready to leave the closet. Ce la vie! That's how I feel most days! Uhh, when I say I feel wonkie most days when ready to leave the closet, it's cause I get dressed in there. It's a walk in. Really!
