more on good tools

Tony came in the room with a big grin

bouncing up and down on his toes

like he does when he's excited.

"Can I cut the grass?"

a little note to any sewing friends:

save up $10 and go buy a rolled hem foot.

Really!

It is that helpful!

~

I wasn't even sure there was such a thing;

I know of serged 'rolled hems', but not sewn ones.

We'd actually gone to the sewing center yesterday

to buy an invisible zipper foot;

I can't seem to find 'my' (Briggs) capris anywhere,

and I really need another pair or two

so I've decided to take apart a pair and make some myself.

While there,

I figured, what the hey, I'll ask.

They do make a metallic primer, after all...

So I asked.

"Is there a foot that sort of folds the fabric for you

so you can do a narrow hem ?"

Not only is there one - there are several!

I only bought one.

But

she ended up giving me the wrong size,

so I'll need to go back and get the one I originally wanted.

oh

darn.
