@… @… Finished the sewing station the other day, I replaced the bow with another thread catcher, with the idea I could use that for general pieces of trash.
We'll have to see how well I can work with it. Perhaps I'll turn it so it hangs off to the side, in case it gets in the way of sewing. I still need to erase the orange chalk lines, too.

Made a rectangular cross body bag using raspberry pink webbing and pink hardware, it’s similar dimensions to my larger belt bag 8.5”x5”x2”. Strap adjusts from 54” to 29”. Lined in orange vinyl, with yellow contrast stripe and stitching, back shelf pocket, two tan zippers, aqua zipper pulls, and interior shelf pocket. #bagmaker #vinylbag #sewing #handmade #nakatsubyjna
A nice little bit of sewing in the sun, today. #Sewing
I'm in the market for a reliable sewing machine—I want to replace my old Singer. I made a mistake at first, buying an old Bernina Virtuosa with mechanical/electronic issues (luckily returned).
A sewing machine repairman told me that early digital Berninas are risky, and he recommended a mechanical Bernina 930, 1030 or 1031.
A serviced vintage Bernina 930 is now on hold for me at a dealer.
Anyone here with Bernina 930 experience? #Sewing #Bernina #SewingMachines
I actually spoke to not one, but three sewing machine repairmen today! 😵💫 I didn't plan it that way... But it happened. When I spoke to the third, it turned out he had been sitting next to the second when I called him in the afternoon. A strange, small world, apparently.
Anyway, they were all in consensus, even the one not trying to sell me anything: this machine is the shit. And I was very lucky contacting them at the right moment to get first dibs on it. So... #NewSewingMachine

Started a new project, the #FreeSewingCrux climbing pants by @…. Also my first project made of #toile (#muslin / #calico ), just to see what it's like to work with it. I have some nice pink denim with a bit of stretch to make the "real" one with, once this one's done.
I attached the pockets with my Bernina 930's triple stitch, which gives this really nice top stitching. I do hope I was supposed to sew the seam allowance with the pocket... The instructions were a bit unclear there 🫣
