The movie "The Dress Maker" costume display

   





































Sewing room - I have a friend who writes songs about sewing machines. He's a Singer songwriter, or sew it seams.


Why are pine trees bad at sewing?
They always drop their needles!!


I tried to be a tailor...
but I just wasn't suited for it...mainly because it was a sew-sew job


I write songs about sewing machines...
I’m a Singer songwriter.


Yesterday was national sewing day..
.. or so it seams

Sewing Machine Cover

 



I used natural hessian – burlap fabric for this project.
I followed the cross-stitch pattern, changed the name of machine.


Ironed interfacing onto back of hessian material.


Completed project with off cuts of a bed sheeting set that was too large for my double bed.


I did not follow any instruction's just carried on with my project as I went along.
There are great tutorials on Pinterest on how to make sewing machine covers. 








THE SERENITY PRAYER

GOD GRANT ME THE SERENITY
TO ACCEPT THE THINGS I CANNOT CHANGE;
COURAGE TO CHANGE THE THINGS I CAN;
AND WISDOM TO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE.

LIVING ONE DAY AT A TIME;
ENJOYING ONE MOMENT AT A TIME;
ACCEPTING HARDSHIPS AS THE PATHWAY TO PEACE;
TAKING, AS HE DID, THIS SINFUL WORLD
AS IT IS, NOT AS I WOULD HAVE IT;
TRUSTING THAT HE WILL MAKE ALL THINGS RIGHT
IF I SURRENDER TO HIS WILL;
THAT I MAY BE REASONABLY HAPPY IN THIS LIFE
AND SUPREMELY HAPPY WITH HIM
FOREVER IN THE NEXT.
AMEN.
