bah! Misread the prompt! It’s my (now defunct) sewing machine, of course! And my fingers!
My favorite (about the only) crafty gadget I have is my sewing machine. I am self taught and haven’t done anything really complicated, but I am learning! I have a 4 year old daughter who picked out a pattern for a dress that she wants me to make for her. We’ll see how it goes! 🙂 I would LOVE the bias tape maker. For not having made a lot of things yet, I’ve used a lot of bias tape! 🙂
Reconstructing clothing! I hope to win so I can give to my aunt/cousin who sew renaissance pieces!
Well, I just started sewing, actually learned off Youtube videos and now I scour Tip Junkie for tutorials and ideas. I’ve already discovered that I can’t zig zag and desparately need a serger. If I had to invent something, it would be maybe removable tape with a line on it you could sew on directly, that would help those of us us with the “straight line sewing disability” and one could pull out of the seam afterwards. Maybe they already have that? Happy Sewing!
I adore my sewing machine, it is the absolute best thing in my craft area, I can spend an entire day creating things and I am so relaxed after being able to focus on a creative endeavor.
