Made my first skirt about a year and a half ago, and have made a couple little things for my niece and nephew.AJ Lauerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12354238149097137060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6115005019733614660.post-2644185814584640722016-04-10T09:02:05.804-05:002016-04-10T09:02:05.804-05:00Sue, I love your display of your machines.

I never got to sew on it and got in big trouble for messing with it, but what child can resist that huge pedal and the whir that came from pressing it? I loved it! Spanking from Mama or not, I *had* to press that pedal. :) I am hoping to have my own treadle machine some day.<br /><br />I really need to get back into sewing. I haven't done it in years, not since my babies were little. Those were the days!<br /><br />Thanks for yet another great post. Have a blessed weekend. :)Suzanne McClendonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15563562309945754772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6115005019733614660.post-26577783801851649462016-04-09T09:13:20.141-05:002016-04-09T09:13:20.141-05:00Pinned that cute cross stitch!

Glad to be back to sewing and quilting - it is something you never forget how to do.Tami Von Zalezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11065017061040785838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6115005019733614660.post-56249991630538819902016-04-09T08:00:44.951-05:002016-04-09T08:00:44.951-05:00My mother did such wonderful hand sewing until rhe...My mother did such wonderful hand sewing until rheumatoid arthritis stilled her hands. I was never good at it. I failed (yes, failed) sewing class in home ec back in the 1960's. I've wished for the talent. You do beautiful work.

Loved that. Also my mom and I smocked dresses, but that darn smocking machine that gathered the fabric was a bear, constantly jamming.

Even then I was ill fated for sewing. But your work is gorgeous. Happy Saturday!Joannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11604494404874408870noreply@blogger.com
