Sewing Machine Blues
See this:
That is Amira's eyelet ruffled top. All the pieces, including the elastic for the back, are cut out. I have my machine threaded with the right thread, the bobbin is very unevenly wound. It turns out this is partly because of my treadle, which needs to be repaired or replaced. I also need to get the machine a general tune up, but I could have made this without that. So, it sits.
It's a good thing that Simplicity children's patterns run large, because I think Amira will be wearing this next Spring and Summer rather than this year.
