Sewing and mishaps

Getting ready for another LLLSalon tomorrow night at Candace’s house.

To that end, I’ve been sewing gift bags. The picture to the left depicts and early stage of their development. More pictures to come later. I think they came out looking right cute.

But.

There was this other thing that happened.

A thing that could’ve been disastrous!

A thing that caused me to take my freaking sewing machine apart.

This is the thing:
NOTE: The needle is NOT supposed to be crooked.

[And when I went to replace it, the new needle fell neatly down the little hole the bottom thread rests in. Had to dismantle the freaking thing to get it out. Would’ve been easier if I had tweezers. And I think I do, in a seam-ripper-sewing kit I purchased a while ago. But as I have no idea where the seam-ripper-sewing kit is AND if I move too many things in my office everything comes tumbling down, I decided to take the sewing machine apart. No worries, it’s all back together and I was able to finish and stuff the bags. It’s in the bag!]
