In October I make Halloween costumes. This year I have a brand new sewing machine to use. I had been putting off buying one for a long time. I knew I wanted to upgrade but I didn’t know exactly what I wanted. I finally came across a mechanical Janome machine and the reviews caught my eye. Now that I’ve had it a while and used it some I love it. It has lots of handy features and special feet but really it just takes the fabric and sews so smoothly and quietly. Like butter compared to my old machine chunking along.
So here’s my old machine – it was a good machine – a good friend.

And my shiny new Janome.

I’m knee deep in quilting rainbow diamonds and sewing suction cups onto fabric.


The costumes are almost complete. I’ll show you soon.

The ponies also needed a sewing machine.
