I did manage to make a few wearable garments, but I spent a lot of time with the seam ripper. I have my mom's old Pfaff machine, which is older than me and decidedly cantankerous. I use it for mending, but haven't attempted anything new in years.Terrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05061067970781919577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7474271316278058173.post-31905198683362799542015-01-07T10:40:28.505-05:002015-01-07T10:40:28.505-05:00Great post, Crystal!
