Light, Glorious Light!

 

It's actually hard for me to describe how excited I am about this - my Singer has a light for the first time in YEARS.

When it first burned out, I took it in for a tune-up that it needed, anyway. The repairperson told me that I needed to order a different bulb than the ones he had. Ok, no problem. I bought my bulb. I could not get it in to the machine!

Fast forward about 4 years, when my darling sister, Lisa, emailed me a link.

You. Guys. It works. It cost me about $1.

Stretch & Sew

I have a bunch of these patterns. So, I made a spreadsheet. As you do.

Proof. On the left, a sewing ham that smells like a 1970s basement. On the right, one that I bought online last year. The first one could seriously be used as a club. It weighs a ton! Bonus background Travis cat.
