Hello, Kitty

This past weekend, I decided to take out my Hello Kitty sewing machine and give it a whirl.  I needed to feed my new obsession and since the machine was sitting in its box since Christmas, I thought I'd see what I actually had.  I was pretty surprised.  It actually worked pretty well (I say this being new to sewing).

Seriously, I expected it to be a toy because it - well - looks like a toy.  I suppose the saying that goes, "You should never judge a book by its cover" is true in this case.  I was able to load the bobbin without the cheap and old thread that I had on hand knotting up and I tried every stitch that the machine had.  All the stitches came out even and nothing went wrong.  Even the back stitch worked well.

This morning I went into the basement to find something, and I came across an old sewing table that my parents had left behind when we bought their house.  I remember seeing it when I was a child at my Lola's (grandmother) house.  It was nice to be reminded of her, but also nice when I realized that her old sewing machine was actually in the table.  I'm not sure if it works properly but I am sure that it can be fixed if it doesn't.  So even though I don't intend on giving up Kitty, I do intend on using my Lola's sewing machine.  Just being around it reminds me of her.

Awww, that is so cool! I so wish we had kept my Nonna's sewing machine and table. Both grandparents were tailors. Enjoy, and let me know when you are ready to help ME take my machine out of the box.
