Sewing Interlude

Uh oh. I think I want a Viking Interlude 445. A discussion on Sewing World made it sound like the best non-embroidery computerized sewing machine there is. I used to not want a computerized machine but I seem to spend quite a bit of time looking in my manual for the correct settings, then tweaking & turning dials into just the right combination on my older and definately not computerized Viking 6370. I am very interested in the 'buttonhole sensor'. But not interested enough to go try it out at my Viking dealer; there are other things that have a higher financial priority. I'll try when I'm ready to buy. (But I might do an ebay search for a Viking Lily, which was replaced by the Interlude). For reference, I'm reading on SW that the Interlude is much the same as the more expensiveViking Platinum line, and that the Viking Freesia does not sew as smoothly as the Interlude. Why am I 'sew' partial to Vikings, I wonder?

Cozy Purple Pop of Color

Cozy purple throws for snuggling!  Adds some color  to the living room.  Thick fleece trimmed straight with rounded corners.  I tried some overcast stitches with my Juki however I couldn't get the look I wanted so I pulled out my serger. Gosh it's been, like 2 years since I used it but luckily it worked (I've had it for quite awhile but I'm still kinda afraid of it 😜).

Crafty Stirrings

My sewing stuff has been packed up for quite awhile and I miss it! It was packed up to make room for a season of extended visits by family which we have truly enjoyed so it was a worthy trade-off. Family visits will be done in a few weeks and in the meantime we decided that we'll be moving into a different house a few weeks later, so my sewing and craft things (other than sewing-related stuff I have just a few jewelry-making and scrap-booking supplies) will remain packed until it's arranged in our new abode. Focusing on family and transition decisions has taken up my mental space so it's just now, as I begin creating the vision of our next home I'm looking forward to having a sewing space again.
