So I’d like you to meet my new best friend. She’s been really good to me. Comforts me when I’m down. She doesn’t interrupt me when I’m talking. She just listens. I really love her and appreciate her. Her name is Sophia.
Get it? “Sew” phia? Ha Ha! But really, I love her. She’s been helping me a lot lately. I’ve been sewing like crazy. I sewed up some Halloween Trick or Treat Bags for the kiddos. I still need to do about 3 more. Here’s a better picture of my sewing machine. It’s a Viking/Husqvarna. I was lucky to have worked for about 2 years, very part-time, and get a stupendous deal on it (40% off)
I’m thinking that soon you’ll be able to just tell your machine what you want done and it’ll pop out done!
Here’s a picture of the Trick or Treat bags. I love the Halloween material. It’s so bright and fun!
It’s also lined. And since I didn’t have a pattern there were a few mistakes made, but of course I learned from them and won’t be doing them again. Talk about a time-wasting couple of mistakes! I sewed it inside out. Ugh…. That means that I had to cut off the sewed edges and turn right sides together and sew it again. So it’s a little bit skinnier than I wanted it to be. But I still think it’s cute!
You know, I have to admit, it gives me pleasure to make things for my kids. They really do love it.
And now I must introduce you to my other friend. I don’t know his name, I just know that he’s male. I’ve been thinking about naming him, but I want my friends to help me. So what what do you think? What kind of name would suit him? Would a couple of charm packs of a Christmas line help in the decision? O.k.!! I have two charm packs of “Figgy Pudding” up for the winner of the best name for this!!
And if you aren’t sure what this is, it’s a serger. And boy, do I love my serger!! Makes things look SO professional.
And here’s a picture of the beautiful charm packs of “Figgy Pudding! They would make a beautiful table topper or table runner!! Who wants ‘em?!!!!
Well then, tell me what to name my serger! Cuz if I need to praise him, I need to praise him by name! And well, If he gets me a little mad, I need to cuss him out by name! (All bad words deleted)
The name choosing will begin today and end on Tues. or Wed. Whichever I decide. And since not too many people read my blog, the chances of winning are astronomical!!! Ha Ha!!

I say sergio you could call him sergi ( the e sound is is egg)
JP said I shouldn't be typing on ambien
I think you should name him Sir. Geronimo! Love ya!
LOL!! I love it! What a cute name for your sewing machine.
And if I (That's typed in caps and bold, if you didn't know) had a machine that just pumped out whatever I told it to (fancy push buttons, wow!) then I would sew up a storm too. Very nice!!
But like my husband always tells me....it's not the machine, or even the programs, it's the machine operator with the talent. ; D I know. I get that. LOL!
I think Judy is onto something. That is a great name for a serger.
But my next choice would be Hem. You know...as in Blind Hem. You could say when you are mad at it "You are SO blind, Hem."
I know. THat is SOooo bad! I might be a little on that ambien that Judy's on too. : D
I would pick Sergeant... So when your "mission" fails, you can blame the SARGE!!!!!!!!! Lol. Get it? I'm a dork. I was just thinking that I would blame headquarters- er the SERGeant, if I sewed a mishap too :P
Since you said I had to pick a name... I would pick "Seamus" It's an irish name meaning "conqueror". Kids, remember who your favorite aunt is!!!
HEeeeeey Julia!
AWESOME sewing machine!! I am I am stoked about Figgy Pudding FABRIC!!!! YUM!
Inky Smiles!
