Hello Everyone! Normal desert weather is here and I hope it is here to stay. Mornings are spent outside digging weeds, clearing space around the house so I don`t stumble on a rattlesnake. No, they don`t always rattle as a warning. Most of the
Green Mohave we encounter are aggressive and they don`t buzz. The venom is a neurotoxin, similiar to that of a cobra. That is why we are very careful. The nights are still cold making the critters move slower in the morning till they can warm themselves in the sun. We don`t have a dog door anymore. Snakes figure them out real quick!
I needed two sewing machine covers and decided this would be a great way to use some of my scrap fabric stash. This is an easy pattern, quick to sew. I picked out three different cotton fabrics for the outside and the lining. I used ribbon seam binding for the ties. The pattern link is
here This pattern is from a great blog called Sparkle Power. Lots of tutorials and other fun information! The machine is a late-fifties Singer Spartan made in Canada. It`s a 3/4 size. My husband made the wood base. Spartan`s don`t come with a case and the plastic base or box this beauty sat on is cracked so hubby made me a new one. If you see a Spartan with a case, it is after market. The best straight stitch machine I ever had!
