First off, the Lord of the Rings scarf made it to its proper owner. It has been dubbed his precious.
Now onto some very cool finds. In digging out our dining room I found an old box that made its way here via my mother's basement, and likely my grandmother's house.
This is my very first sewing box, and my first sewing machine! This My Little Pony machine is from the 80s and it's a chain stitch machine. You can see my little 5 year old writing there. In the boxe were two cut out Cabbage Patch Doll outfits, one dress, and one pair of overalls. These WIPs were 35 years old and now that I found them, I will finish them!
And since I also found my two Cabbage Patch Dolls in the box too, I cleaned them up, finished the overalls for Jesse Barfield (as I wanted to preserve his Blue Jays uniform), and passed them to my toddler. I still need to put the dress together, and I have some nice fabric scraps to make some more outfits with the pattern as well.
Sorry for the potato picture, but liberating him from my toddler for a proper photoshoot was proving difficult.
It's been fun going down memory lane back to when I was learning to sew with my grandmother.
