As I finished my dinner and pondered how I would spend the rest of the evening (no money to go out already!! Eek!), the sewing machine which was still in its original packaging caught my eye, looking rather abandoned.
Feeling sorry for it I decided to do something productive and have a go at using the sewing machine.... easier said than done.....
After spending at least half an hour trying to work out how the hell you thread the damn thing, I plugged the machine in the power mains, only to find I had forgotten to check the setting was on the 'Off' mode, which resulted in the machine going absolutely schizo and the thread I spent ages trying to arrange turning into a mountainous knot before me - I must say the word 'Shit!!' did enter my mind at this point.
So once again I had to thread the machine again, making sure this time it WAS off, before plugging it to the mains.
Using a piece of scrap material I began to start experimenting with the patterns the machine had to offer (only 8 patterns, but more than enough for an idiot like me), and basically sewing the poor scrap of material to death, with the result being the above image.
As you can see, I was born to be a seamstress......
