My sewing machine is ready to be picked up from the shop today. I have not missed it since it’s a finicky thing and has given me more fits than any sewing machine I’ve ever owned but at least it was really expensive.
Lesson learned.
I have a cheap little work horse that does what needs doing.
This is my Scarlet O’Hara coat, or my Gone With the Wind Coat fashioned from a bolt of upholstery fabric scored at the Goodwill. It also made some very groovy curtains.

My one and only sewing machine EVER has been a little old Singer. That's my baby.
My friend Kathleen and I were in the Goodwill today and she bought some nice upholstery fabric but I do not think she's planning on making a coat out of them. After I show her yours though, she may.

I also have an old Singer, sadly not working at the moment. It's a beautiful machine though.
Goodwill is awesome!
