22.01.2022 Made a few cotton fabric Olson pattern masks with pocket for True Hepa (High Efficiency Particulate Air) vacuum bags which filters 99.97% rate of particles as small as 0.3 microns for my niece Karen and her son Max who loves trucks and front end loaders.

21.01.2022 Wow.....The virus lockdown months for us all did not stop Sadet who was attending the Basic Sewing Course which was interrupted due to the suspension of classes in March with only 4 classes completed from the 6 class course....But the SEWING bug definitely got her during this time! She and her husband have been very busy changing a bedroom into this fantastic sewing space!!' I'll have whats she is having!!! Ha Ha.How good does it look for her Sewing Machine, Overlocker and also a coverstitch machine. As well as an electronic table with only a press will raise to correct height for cutting etc to save getting a sore back. Will post the link for the furniture etc on the pictures. Was lovely to sew with you yesterday Sadet for the Zipper Class. Thankyou for sharing Sadet and wish you many, many happy sewing hours of creating!!

19.01.2022 Time to sew Benji some outfits he has been eyeing off!!!

19.01.2022 Finally posting a video showing you the different steps of using a sewing machine. Not the best as only filmed on my mobile!! STEP 1 The working name parts of the machine STEP 2: Threading the Bobbin (starting 21.44) STEP 3: Threading upper part of the sewing machine (32.28) STEP 4: Operation of the machine (39.12) The intro couple of minutes sound is a bit low but the rest of the video is fine. Hope this will assist you with the extra time you may have on your hands during this time. If you have any questions please leave a comment so I can assist you. Wishing you lots of happy projects....Cheers Loretta
