A miracle has occurred--actually it occurred because Carrie now has a son in Cub Scouts, which necessitates the sewing on of many patches! She called this morning and admitted she was ready to tackle sewing, at least in a small way. We brought down Pat's old Singer sewing machine from a basement closet which we purchased when we first moved to Idaho Falls from the home economics department at Bonneville High School in about 1976 ( and it was 3 years old then, so you do the math!). The last time Carrie worked at a sewing machine was when she was in 4-H--probably at about age 9 or 10.
She even remembered most about how to thread the bobbin and needle.
The finished product. She followed this with sewing on a button. Parker was quite amazed that his mom was sewing. He was enthralled with the machine, never having been around one before.

Oh gosh, I need to get my hair colored again...
Thanks for the lesson, I love the sewing machine, it's very retro. I gotta find a cool place in my house for it!
Impressive....first you master bread-making and now sewing! I've found hot glue also works pretty well on the old Scout patches!
Now, Carrie, on to quilts! :)
Quilts are the best, Carrie! You need to learn.
