Mom rocks!

For Christmas, my mom got me a new sewing machine, since my old one was not able to handle the kind of heavy-duty sewing that I do. My new one is a Euro-Pro Silk & Denim 7100 and it's amazing! Thanks, Mom!



First, I made a fabulous new purse and the machine handled the vinyl (over the bottom half of the outside, the straps, and the inside pockets) without a hitch. The vinyl came in handy today, since it's raining like it's trying to drown us. Plus, if I keep my keys in one of the outer pockets, it's really damned hard for me to lose them. :)

Then, I made Kaylee a new harness, since her old one has stretched so much that she can wiggle out of it and it can't be tightened anymore. The machine handled the layers of heavy nylon webbing just fine. (Kaylee has to have a specially-made harness both to help keep her from pulling and so she doesn't chafe under her legs.)

Thanks again, Mom! I can't wait to see what else I can make...
