Congratulations JennieG! Do you have a picture of it online?

I only own one sewing machine and I've had it since I was about 14 (so that'd be 17 years then). I did GCSE Home Economics textiles, I'm quite proud to admit, with no teacher as my school only had cookery teachers. I sat at the back of the Home Ec classes and sewed. My schoolfriends thought I was weird because I liked sewing and it wasn't a very cool thing to do as a kid in 1990. I used to do some dressmaking and embroidery but haven't done much in years.

Y'know, for a self-proclaimed Third Wave feminist and a geek I'm scarily into domestic bliss... it sometimes worries me that I spent years in Higher Education but have a secret longing to be a homemaker...
