| Poppy the Pfaff and I |
I was so excited when Maryanne and Caroline asked me to be part of their fun new series "
my best friend" where they have invited guests to come on and chat about their sewing "best friends"! Can be a what or a who. Such a great idea! When it came time to write my post I had originally intended to talk about the people in my life who have had a huge influence on me when it came to sewing but I just kept coming back to one of my fave things in life - my sewing machine Poppy. Yep, that's right. She's got a name. Poppy the Pfaff is one of my best buds. I spend all my spare time with her, tell her all my secrets, cry with her, laugh with her, cheer with her, get angry at her, and just plain love the buckets outta her. She's my sewing machine.
Wanna know more? Pop on over to
"Sew Together" and check out my whole post about Poppy and I's relationship and my tumultuous journey before I met her.
So...who/what is your best sewing friend? An indispensable tool? A machine like me? A family member or friend? C'mon...join in! it's fun!
P.S. I'm taking the day off on Monday for the long weekend :) I hope you all have a wonderful and relaxing long weekend and I'll see you on Tuesday <3
oh yay! How exciting! My favorite sewing tool is my seam ripper. I use it for everything.
ReplyDeleteI see your burnt nose. :-)
ReplyDeleteYour machine sounds like a dream! Can I come sew on it? ^_^ I'm still dealing with a devil of a machine over here. Lol. Someday! My hope is that when we finally get an opportunity to get to the west coast I will get a good new machine from a sewing shop. I might have to make payments, but at least I will always be near a place to service it! As long as I am dreaming, let's add in a sewing room and a lavender garden. Hell yeah!
ReplyDeleteI just read this last night and laughed and laughed. I too had a horrid sewing machine--my first one that I bought myself died of natural causes and the one my husband bought me to replace it was the horrid one. I thought I was the only one that had seriously hit their sewing machine with scissors. Repeatedly. With the good, heavy Gingher ones. My hubs remedied his mistake a few years ago with a Bernina and it is *awesome*.
