Today has been one of those days! It started off with a trip to docs as 1.I needed medication review and 2. My sore throat and asthma problems of just over a week ago have returned - im now on antibiotics, which doc said I should have had with the steroids a week ago.
From here me and lil man hit the shoe shop in the hope of getting him new school shoes, Bran**** had 2 pairs in sons size, 1 of which he couldn't get the velcro to do up and the other pair the stitching was ripping on it, so we left them. I was going to go down to shoe zone but was feeling dizzy so we bused home.
Then this afternoon I got the sewing machine out (not used one since school and then I got kicked out on week 2!) My eldest son has recently been doing textiles at school so said he would be able to help me. Well he took 1 look at my little machine and asked what it was - nothing like the big ones they use at school! Oh well its me on me own then. As I have less than 2 weeks to get middle sons clown top made!
So I had to work out which way the pins went in the material, good job I checked as I had them pinned the wrong way, I had them how I would sew by hand. I then had a play on a piece of material and seemed to go ok, so I put sons Clown tops (2 tops cut in half) under the foot and set off.
Well I managed to sew the front and back together without too many problems, it got stuck trying to go through the collars and the bottom hems as they quite thick, and in a few places I ended up with some gaps where it didnt seem to pick up the thread:
