The Wonders of the Wonderful Dutchman Part 3

Well he has done it again and surprised me...

I have been cutting out bunting over the last week, and I was chatting about the fact that I would need to borrow someones sewing machine....yep you heard that right...I don't have one! I love to hand sew, so the need for a machine has never arisen before now.

Look what the Wonderful Dutchman arrived home with last night...
....A beautiful green mini sewing machine!!!!!!!!!!!!


I simply adore this man...




My afternoon was spent remembering how thread the needle and to wind the bobbin, it all came flooding back... it is just like riding a bike!

I enjoyed it so much, memories of school textile lessons, the sound that reminds me of my Mum sitting fixing some curtains or making us a new dress....it was a joy... everyone should learn to sew, it is a life skill that is such fun!

And the best part...a healthy stack of green and yellow bunting waiting to be ironed... A great afternoons work!

Thank you Mr Wonderful xxx

Love the fabrics for your bunting! Are these the colors of your wedding? Great job! Yes, sewing is like riding a bike - minus the pin pricked fingers.

Is the machine wondrous?

I really want to buy a little machine but have no idea where to start.
