The Sewing Machine Whisperer

Our good friend Wendy revived my Mom's sewing machine that had been dormant for over 40 years, then taught Carly how to use it.

Wendy makes wonderful Moses baskets & baby bedding at http://www.wendyanne.com

Impressive...my mom had one of those

[Kerri]

That's cool. Great portrait of them.

[Ellen E]

That is so cool! Nicely captured.

It's so great to be able to pass down special items from one generation to the next. What a memorable time for your daughter.

[Melissa Pike]

Wonderful portrait, and how cool that your daughter is able to learn to sew on her grandmother's machine.

[Louise & Ken]

Just when you probably thought I might not be paying attention... http://365project.org/bradsworld/365/2010-07-20 Along the way I enjoyed seeing some I'd actually missed last fall!

This looks like a wonderfully constructive, friendship-filled way to spend some of the summer. Sweet photo!

That is great, such a useful and rewarding skill. I've even used one for making insect collecting equipment, yeah I'm a bit geeky(on the inside).

[Lesley Barber]

This is a great shot.Lovely to see folk working in these fading crafts. Can barely thread a needle myself,but I'm OK with a knitting needle...

[Constance Brinkley]

Wow a turquoise sewing machine! Nice to see it in action again!

[FaerieMoon]

Very sweet of her to teach your daughter--good skill to know if you have the patience

[Alecio]

That is very nice, I remember my mother using hers

[Brandy]

That's awesome! I need to teach Morgan how to use my sewing machine.

[hellcat]

Awww.... that's wonderful that she'll be able to use it now!
