Sewing Lessons


Now here's a sight to gladden the heart!  

This is Miss H having her first go on the 1918 Singer 99K that I passed on to my friend Elizabeth before Christmas.  Her lesson included some serious sewing...



...winding a bobbin...



... concentrating on keeping a straight line of stitching and not coming off the edge...
 

... and finally a bit of fun, with the emphasis on speed rather than direction.  Will she be a free motion quilter or a cartographer?  Looks like the coast of Cyprus to me.

I am told that Miss H means business and her first project is going to be a bag.

Many thanks to Elizabeth for the wonderful photos!
