My machine is quite sensitive these days and every now and then, I need to give it some TLC, i.e. sew very slowly and the moment it starts to choke, I stop. I remember you sewing some bags too! Or was it a pouch. But you are the lady for dresses, coats, blouses and skirts!! :)
The picnic sheet is really cool I think. It holds its shape and it is easy to wash and wipe. I am really liking it so far :)
