I don’t know why I said that,but let me tell you,looking at beads is a lot more interesting than looking at zippers. Which is exactly what I found myself doing on online today. And although they may not be beads,I was into it. It’s amazing how many kinds,weights,and sizes there are of zippers. One for every task,I imagine. Check right here (zipperstop.com) if you don’t believe me. I was looking,because as I mentioned in my last post,I have a sewing monster on my back and gotta either get it off or take ‘em for a ride. I was checking out this awesome Amy Butler weekender bag,and looking at zippers for it.
On another note,remember Murphy’s law? Yup. Me too. I spent Saturday getting all ready to sew two projects today –a little purse/bag to carry an e-reader,and a skirt. About 1/3 of the way into the first project,the bobbin (lower thread) on my machine just would not behave –quit and was spewing out big wads of messy thread. Needs a new bobbin case,I believe,after spending a couple of hours working on the problem,failing to fix,and researching solutions. I have ordered the case,via internet,but my sewing day was over at 1pm. Time for a long walk and to make a pair cool pair of metal disk earrings,and time for some cooking with Super Bowl on without sound in the background (No Packers,who gives a ***) Giants,though. Better than Tom Brady,although I did grow up outside of Boston.
Here is the iPad or eReader case I made previously,that I said I would take a photo of today. It still needs the button sewn on,which I procrastinated about for several days,while shuffling it around from one table space to another. And of course,now that I guilted myself into being ready to sew it on,I can’t find it. Ah well,it will show up. Along with my new bobbin case for my sewing machine.
Oh,and I did make a pair of earrings today. Round brass metal disks,hammered and bright and shiny.
