Around 4 years ago I purchased Curious George monkeys for all the Grands . . . For the girl monkeys I added blush, earrings, ribbons, pretty dresses, ballet skirts and Maggie, Katherine, Molly and Abby were born! For our Grandson, John Isaac, I made a safari outfit for his George. A year later, Jude Michael was born and we gave him a smaller Georgie in flannel PJs!

I created all my sewing projects on a basic sewing machine for the last 41 years . . . You know, I could probably thread my old machine and bobbin with my eyes closed (just kiddin') because I've done it so many times! And then came my new baby . . . The Brother HC1850 . . . Woo Hoo!!!

You can't imagine what a machine like this does to one's mind! The possibilities are limitless, however . . . everything is so totally different in the way this new machine works! They say, "You can't teach a old dog new tricks"? Well, this Puppy is learning new tricks and loving it!
Here's the first 2 projects I worked on to learn the ins and out of threading the machine, winding drop-in bobbins, changing pressure feet, sewing without a pressure foot, auto buttonholes and, using decorative stitches.









Well, there you have it! After I ordered this machine through Amazon, I was so excited, I was constantly checking the shipping status! Confession: I even lost sleep because I was so excited, but it was so-ooo worth it! I love this sewing machine!
This has certainly been a learning experience for me! I had to rip out the stitches on Molly's front pocket 3 times, but it is a small pocket, thank God! Practice makes perfect, and there will be a lot of "practice" going on . . . Over at Julie's!!!
