Getting super excited for the upcoming Refresh Spring Market on April 25th!! Have a few more doll designs to get underway and then it's sew sew sew sew!!! Speaking of sewing, have you ever checked out Spool of Thread on East 15th?? It's been on my 'places to visit' list for quite some time now, and I finally got to go with my favourite lady - My Mama! And looky looky what I came home with for my birthday (thanks Mom!!!)
She (yes 'she') is a Janome 419S and is oh so pretty! She breezes through my dolls thick layers, has beautiful tension for each stitch and is super simple to use. She is certainly not light weight (my kinda gal) as her body is aluminum, which means my needle stays nicely in alignment.
Other than my gorgeous new machine, we also perused the fabrics - and oh my word...they are WONDERFUL. Anything and everything you can imagine - I was like a kid in a candy store...sigh.
They also offer sewing classes for every level at a very reasonable price - there was a class in session while we were there, and it looked like so much fun. Don't need lessons? Love to sew but have no room?? No problem, you can also rent one of their lovely Elna's, and use their cutting tables (my only problem would be I'd bring my own fabric then change my mind and end up buying something else...it's just too tempting!).
