So at some point in late May or early June, I wanted to make some cloth baby wipes for my little girl. At the time I didn't have a sewing machine so I went to my grandmother's house to use hers. It looks something like this...
With it I made little wipeys that looked like this....
After doing so my grandma decided it was time for me to have my own machine and found one on Craigslist for $50. I drove over to her house and picked up the cash as well as the ad and directions to the ladies house who was selling the machine. When I arrived, I discovered that her concept of barely used and what barely used really means were two very different things. She spoke very little English but informed me that she didn't know how to use it but that it was brand new. I had to clean tons of fabric dust out of it and oil it. New my butt.
It looked a little something like this.... (but a bit dirtier. I don't have a pic of the machine except from angles.)
This is what it really looks like. I added the rose :)
It doesn't have any fancy stitches, just forward, backward, zig-zag and a button hole setting but it gets the job done!
When I got my machine home, I proceeded to make more wipes as well as many other things that I will be posting today.
Thanks for reading! Enjoy!
