Some parts…

I heart sewing. However, there are some parts of it that I do not particularly enjoy. Here are a few:

--cutting out patterns, either from the paper or on the fabric (I'm too antsy, I just want to get to the sewing part!)

--sewing in zippers, I'm getting better though!

--ironing, of any kind, bleh

--winding bobbins, I go through lots of bobbins, especially when sewing on handles

This last one drives me nuts. I can't stand having to stop a project just to wind a bobbin. My solution? Many, MANY bobbins.  But this means that about once a month I have to wind them ALL. This monthly event occurred last night. Do you think a six year old is too young to wind bobbins? Maybe I should train him…

Look at all my crazy bobbins…
 I buy these big spools from Joann's when thread is on 50% off…
 I sat at the machine for about 1/2 hour and this is what I have now…
 Look how happy they are!
Yay! Teresa

The sugar dishes make me like them better too! One of the reasons that they live there.

It is nice to know that I'm not the only one too Roberta!
