There has been absolutely no sewing taking place around these parts for weeks now. Nothing. Nada. Rien. Zilch. Sweet FA. My cutting table has been appropriated to store hundreds of assignments I need to mark and I am riddled with the lurgiest lurgy that has left me firmly on the couch with ice blocks for feet. This may have been a direct result from being on the wagon! More likely I caught the pesky bug from my brother in law when I made a flying visit home to attend my dad's 70th bday party. One thing that is certain though is that I can't party as hard as those OAPs!
On the way to bed last Thursday, coming down from a bit of a Lemsip frenzy, I pressed BUY on something rash that was not fabric related for once. I haven't been able to get much sleep since, worrying about whether I have done the right thing getting this beauty....

Too late - it arrived yesterday. Boysenberry in colour, it matches my Dr Marten patent purple flats I bought last year. I haven't used it yet. I'm a little frightened. Maybe today....
It came with a free cast iron frying pan...

| it's quite heavy |
Now all I need is a pattern to make a cover for it. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Oh wow that's one impressive machine! I don't know if it makes stuff well but you definitely chose the right colour. I am unashamedly hopeless in the kitchen so cannot offer any cooking advice but I do appreciate your sense of style!
ReplyDeleteAlso quietly pleased that I am not the only one who has not been making much stitchy progress. I really must get back to it but seem to have an enormous pile of annoying jobs to do first. I will be surprised if I have sewn more than a couple of coasters by the end of this year...
Nice! There's a pattern in the tutorial section of Sew Ichigo's website :)
ReplyDeleteI can totally hear that frying pan calling out "make a tarte tatin in me" !!!
ReplyDeleteI was going to say Sew Ichigo too!
ReplyDeleteLooks awesome!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous purchase! Very envious. Isn't it too nice to cover?!?
ReplyDeletewhat a beauty, sorry can not help with a cover, think it need to be on show anyway as it is such a wonderful colour. Hope you learn how to use it soon, I had a Kenwood mixer and it was 18 years before I got the knack. ,just use the liquidiser so far still not used the mixer part, it will be an unused antique soon.
ReplyDeleteOoh it's fabulous! Hope you feel better soon so you can play with your new toy :-)
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to know that the lurgy is still lingering. I hope that you feel better really soon. I like your new machine although cooking is a neceesity rather than a pleasure for me. Nice colour - do you always match your shoes with the kitchen appliances? Di x
ReplyDeleteHope you feel better soon, that is one beautiful mixer though, the lurgy really didn't affect your judgement, have fun using it :o)
ReplyDeleteMy lovely mum gave me one of those and it. Is. Fabulous. You will never regret it for an instant!
ReplyDeleteOooooo I'm very jealous - lovely bit of kit! Now you just need a toaster to match your coat :-)
ReplyDeleteHope you feel better soon x
drooooool!
ReplyDeleteLooove that colour! Hope you are feeling better.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic colour
ReplyDeletegreat colour, though I have no idea what it is. something for that cooking business other people talk about?
ReplyDeleteOh my, I did a slight swoon when I saw that, what a beautiful colour!! Hope your feeling much better and have immersed yourself in a baking frenzy. Hx
ReplyDeleteOh the color is so pretty. You are going to love using it. I got mine a coupe years ago and know I can''t do without it.
