My new sewing machine. =)

[Pudgy]

When my mom immigrated to the United States in 1979, she opened up a sewing shop. She used to sew clothes for JCPenny's and I remember being out there when I was a kid and just watching her sew and helping out whenever I can. Flipping shirts, folding, etc.

Well, she sold the sewing shop a few years later and opened up her restaurant. Which is still open today, and we're actually celebrating our 18th year anniversary this month. =)

Anyhow, we kept one of the machines we had but it's just been in storage. And we lost one of the parts through several moves. But my mom finally decided to fix it up again for me to use.

We got it up and running today and I've been practicing on it. It's a huge professional sewing machine and wow. It's a big difference from my lil dinky one.  It sews insanely fast and it took some getting used to.  But I'm getting the hang of it.

You can see from the picture, the white one on the left is mines and it's just a small portable one that you can put anywhere. But the big blue one is actually attached to the table/stand and it's quite heavy.



I just think it's really cool that I get to use the same machine I remember watching my mom use when I was a kid.

So............... whatcha gonna make for Pudgy?

[Pudgy]

LOL, I've made Pudge clothes before.  =)



It's getting warmer here, so I haven't made anything lately.  But that's the jacket he wore this past winter whenever we went on walks.

I think I could use a machine like that. I have one like your portable. It sounds like your Mom is a real go getter. How cool to use the same machine she used!

I love Pudge's coat! I can't wait to see what you will be making!

That's very nice  and it is really nce that you can sew 

If I say I got a new sewing machine it means, I got some more hem tape and a new stapler  I regret not getting one of those Buttoneers (that thing that attaches buttons) when they were selling them on late night tv

I LOVE Pudgys coat! 


I miss sewing....I really must buy another machine one day
