Sew I finally did...

Yes, i finally did get my sewing machine which explains in large part why I haven't posted for so long. I simply love it. I have fixed just about everything in my wardrobe and my home that needed fixing and have made some tote bags and some gift bags (those little organza numbers). Anyway, this is the type I got, it is an Elna as my Mom swears by them.

Today I bought a pattern (vintage, of course) for a very simple tank dress. One day when I am feeling brave, I will attempt it. For now, I will continue with straight seams only!
