I’ve been working on a sewing project, friends, and it is driving me up the wall. Not the project itself, really, but my sewing machine. To be more specific: my lack of skill and knowledge regarding said sewing machine. The thread keeps going “thwang!” and snapping and tangling up and I’m ready to chuck this project — and the sewing machine. I’m thinking I need to find a new hobby to persue. Something for which I have a skosh of natural aptitude. Before I do that, though, I might try to sign up for a sewing class.
Until then, I’m going to watch some HGTV. Unless I can figure out how to watch “Project Runway” online.
(I think the “Color Splash” guy was shopping at TJ Maxx. Awesome.)
How about writing? Or guitar? Or snow shoeing?
If you find a way to watch Project Runway online let me know! We’re going to be cutting back our cable.
@Chris: Guitar is on the short list of Hobbies Under Consideration.
@Rachel: You’re supposed to be able to watch it on the Lifetime site, but I have yet to make it work. (ha!)
Hi Nichole,
Don’t give up on the sewing machine! It sounds like the tension and dials aren’t set properly. If you don’t have your booklet that came with the machine, look it up online and put in what problem you’re having…I have faith that you’ll figure it out!
My goal is to make a pair of pants that I’m happy with this fall. We. Shall. See. Stay tuned…
