Sewing

Beth is continuing her sewing career by starting on a dress. I posted last year about the quilt block Beth completed, and I'm happy to say she has progressed very well. Of course, she may not finish the project until Christmas ... 2010! No, she'll finish it before then, but she is very methodical and particular about each and every seam.

After she cut out the pattern pieces, Beth and I both thought some machine practice would be a good idea. My only warning was that she should not try to stop the needle moving with her hands. Just take her foot off the treddle.

The really weird thing is that she is learning on the very machine that I learnt on thirty years ago. Good equipment never dies, it just gets passed on down.
