My New Sewing Machine

Well, after years of working with machines almost 20 years old, I had a massive motor explosion and decided to bite the bullet and go for a new fangled machine!

I hope to post up photos of my projects here for you all to see! 

I went hrough Sewing Machines Direct and got myself a Janome 8077 which came with a selection of free goodies!




Within 10 minutes of it arriving I was up and running and feel totally in love!

I spent the rest of the weekend making the following dress, which was my first atempt at a dress!  I was a little disapppointed with the loose neck but i was so happy to actually finish it!  the material was a one off buy, so I hope that I will wear it!!!

I also need to master the invisible zip!!!!!!



With the little left over fabric I made a rolling tobacco pouch for a mate.
