Crafty


Im having a craft attack,it must be the cold weather.I just finished cutting out this dress,ive used a beautiful rayon fabric,but I fear it will be a bugger to sew.Its to wear to a wedding in August.I also want to make Morgan a silver cowboy shirt,but both material and pattern are proving hard to get.These girls are an inspiration.

I have some patterns to send you. I've just discovered that my sewing machine is dead, and I no longer have the will to get it fixed. It always was a sulky, balky thing, and though I have not used it consistently for some time, I've still had it cleaned and oiled now and then. Yet it's now frozen, with the needle at the nadir under the throatplate, and the flywheel or whatever it is won't budge. The belt is fine; the bobbin doesn't seem to be stuck. And yet: it's dead. A clear sign that I'm not meant to sew anymore.

So I have some patterns to send you. Found them in our attic in a boxful of gnurr. I saved out the ones with the fewest mouse, ehm, souvenirs; hope you like self-belted dramatic evening pajamas. You might need wedge platform shoes to go with, or at least a chunky cuff bracelet and one large, perfect, waxy tropical bloom to tuck behind an ear.

When I visit thrift stores there are two bins I can't resist: patterns and records. What great pics.
