Teaser Revealed Part 1

Hello again

It is “teaser” reveal time.  For those who are unaware, last week I was only able to post pictures from what I was able to accomplish.  Do to time and the chaos of last week, I was unable to go into details as I usually do.

Anne's Sewing Lesson #2 Also Known As Karana Should Not Unthread a Brother Sewing Machine.

It had been a while since I had last done a sewing lesson with Anne, the Daughter, so I made arrangements.  It was decided on a 3 hour time frame on a busy Sunday.  The game plan in my head was...

1. Getting Anne acquainted with her sewing machine
2. Drafting 3 Doll Dirdle Skirts from Gertie's Guide to Better Sewing
3. Use 3 different types of gather stitches to gather up the skirt to the waist band.

First lesson that I learned from this lesson is...

1.  Inform them of what tools and supplies will be needed beforehand.  It was a scavenger hunt locating and finding what I thought was needed for the lesson.

2. And this is the biggest 1.  I need to not touch their sewing machine.  It is a Brother Brand, mine is a Husquevarna Viking.  In the "Getting Anne acquainted with her sewing machine" section, I un-threaded the machine.  It is only a matter of time before the machine will require another thread, might as well learn how to now...  After approximately 2 hours of trying to get the machine to work, I drove 5 minutes to home, packed up my machine and returned to the lesson.  At this point due to time.  I was in the driver's seat giving commentary to Anne about what I was doing.  It took several days but their machine is up and running now.  Next lesson will be a repeat of what was attempted but didn't get around to

Well, that about does me for now.  I'll give the details about the remaining teaser next week.

Until then...
