New Sewing Machines!!!!!~~~!!!

Yeayyyyyyy...Finally got my new sewing machines...both are from Singer. Probably now I should change the name of this blog to MesinJahitBaru ( Translation : New sewing machine) instead of MesinJahitLama (Translation : Old Sewing Machine).

My old sewing partner is the Singer treadle model 15-K.

See..peeled logo..it's really old

Actually I really like using this treadle. It's very simple & straightforward...does magnificent stitches..doesn't complain when I use it long enough..you just have to oil it after use and make sure that it's relatively clean.
I would certainly recommend everybody to get their hands on one of these babies.

ANywayssss, my new toys are pictured below. I can't seem to keep my hands off them both. I got one serger and one portable sewing machine that could stitch other than a straight line (Sorry 15-K!). Enjoice!

My new Serger (4 thread model..yum!!)

Confidence! Now I am more confident to sew =)

Fabric Madness Friday

GorRRRrrrr!11!!!!!!...Friday was such an unproductive day. Considering it was wet, splashy and cloudy my coll. & I decided to go for retail therapy. Where else do working women go on Fridays when the men are off for their weekly prayers? Jalan TAR la mana lagi.

So I splurged on kain batik sarung and also some polka-dot madness viscose cotton. Maybe I'm going to turn the batik into skirt & dresses for girls (even myself...haha). And for the oh so cute cotton, probably I'm going to turn one into baju kurung and the rest into something like Simplicity 2023 or 1972. Will be posting the end projects once I get my new machines =)

Enjoy the pics of my splurge!

I like the old skoolness of the 2 right pairs

Yummy Polka-dots!!
