Aladdin Costume

Brodie brought me an Aladdin book the other day, and asked if I could make him a costume. He normally wants nothing to do with my sewing, so I jumped at the chance. He picked the classic Aladdin, “street rat” look. By the end of the day, he has a new costume, and I have a happy little boy :)

New Brother Sewing Machine

I love my new machine. It seems to do everything. It has great decorative stitches, and it is very easy to thread. I have always had White or Singer machines (since that is what my family tends to buy.) However, I am now a fan of Brother! The machine runs so smooth and quiet. Three cheers for Brother Project Runway Special Edition!

Brodie is 4

I can NOT believe that Brodie is now 4. Wow, where have the years gone? I love you so much Brodie.

Problem with my machine

I am a little sad today. I've been sewing a ton with my new Singer machine. It runs great for all the basic stitches, but I have been having problems with the decorative stitches. I double checked the handbook to see if it was something I was doing, and everything was in order, but the machine was not running correct. I had to take it back to the store. I ended up trading my machine for the Brother Project Runway model. I was a little leery about buying a Brother sewing machine. I will let you know how the machine holds up!
