They are super fun and practical. Hey, how can you go wrong?!? Going to do some after-Christmas shopping for that new machine. I tried to convince my friend to let me keep her's Must work harder on my persuasion skills. And man, I used to be a speech teacher and debate coach. What happened to me?!? The shoes are by Keen.

Not funny! My mom got me an "almost vintage" sewing machine and it was not very expensive (about a 100$...but it's used so normally something like that is 250$). So you can always find good deal if you shop a little. And getting second hand feels good...eco-friendly! Oh no! Not funny!

Huh? It wan't me, I didn't do it! LOL! Sorry for your crummy machine. Mine is a piece too. I only paid $15 for it so... I hope you are able to accomplish all of you holiday sewing on the borrowed machine and can get your own back up and running soon. What? Huh? It wan’t me, I didn’t do it! LOL!

Well, enjoy your borrowed one. FWIW, I had a cheapo $90 machine for 10 years and it was fine. From sewing duck cloth sofa slipcovers to satiny princess gowns, it held fast. But I do think my experience was unusual, so I didn't dare tempt fate again. I upgraded a bit when it came time to replace it last year. ;) Oh honey, I had no idea….! Well, enjoy your borrowed one.
