Before last weekend, I had never used a sewing machine, for real, in my life. Or at least if I have, I've blocked it from my memory. I had been on the search for one for weeks as I wanted to attach handles to the bag I knitted S so he could use it at the farmer's market (see "Knitting Fiend" post soon), but I had no luck finding one. But, it turned out S's mom had one and she and I figured out how to set it up and I sewed for the first time! Thanks B!
Two hands! Oh god, I can't look!
Ok, phew.
The results? The handles turned out well. They're attached very securely to the bag. S's suit pocket for the wedding? Well, let's just say it works but the stitch line was very...um...creative. I can't imagine it'll become my new hobbym but it's a useful skill to know.
Farmers market bag tested last Saturday, sewing holds up and bag gets functionality seal of approval. It already had the coolness seal ;) S
