I finally got my sewing machine to work. I shouldn't tell on myself because I don't want yall to know how dumb I really am! sheesh I took it all apart again to make sure there wasn't any lint I missed. STill didn't work right. I kept thinking that the presser foot just didn't seem like it was holding enough pressure. Duh! So when I got to looking into that I found that the little button at the top wasn't pressed in to make the presser foot push down hard. Once I did that, problem was fixed.

So now I can finish the apron that I'm making for a fellow farmgirl. And box the skirt I was making that is just a might too small.

Blessings....
Sarah

Hey Jess,

Did you get a bunch of catching up done today? It's a good feeling...best I can remember..LOL One day I'll experience it again..

I don't sell on Etsy but see a few ladies in the Entrepeneur area talk about how difficult it can be..

Sarah....I started with the MaryJane apron and have re-drawn it to make a fuller skirt, added a chest pocket, changed the ties...etc.

Autumn I love those aprons! They look so soft and look like they would just hug your body so nicely when tied on...you know like grandma's arms.

Bev/ You still amaze me on how you could go and pick the remaining tomatoes to juice, and then make an apron. I have a bunch of apples, that need to used. My son and I picked all the apples on our tree, so that the birds wouldn't ruin them all. The birds would attack one apple then move on to the next. Sometimes, they would put one hole in the apple.

Love the apron.

Saw the post about the lint. I just keep a can of compressed air by the machine. Scares the cats all to pieces, but works like a charm. :-)

Lisa, how do you manage to have a life at all with those long hours? My dh will be working those long hours since their company won this contract. They are even setting up cots at work for people to sleep on. At least my dh lives close by (only 1 mile from work), so he can sleep in our own comfy bed.
