Welcome to my Sunday🎈

Picking up another sewing machine later....

Nice drive out...

I wakes up at 7am...

Leaves sleeping beauty along to snore..

Looks out the front door,

Is that a rain cloud or not?

Too early to be up on a Sunday↓

Enjoys a brew↓

Once Sleeping Beauty rose from the warm pit.

We had breakfast, dressed, and out for a much needed walk↓

Someone has pulled a sold sign up????

Oh dear, look at my dad's front garden :(

Another street sign pulled up↓

Too much of this I expect↓

Down the steps↓

Nips in to Dunelm,

Woo hoo got my sewing machine with extra bits↓

Now on the way back↓

Woo hoo a big monster↓

It still has the receipt from John Lewis for £400 back in 1993!

Pork Tea↓

For the next two hours I was trying to get the machine to sew a bobbin....

Nothing happened....

Uses the other sewing machine to do that.

It uses a special bobbin, so can't use the metal or plastic ones other machines can use.

Found some on Ebay.......

Now to see if it can sew!!!

2 Hours later....

A lot of blue language....

I move the foot petal a bit.....
*Hey Presto!!!!!*
*It's sews!!!!!*

I put some spare material in , and away I go!

I looked how much a new foot petal would be......

£220!!!!!!!

(I could get another machine for that!!!)

Let's hope tomorrow,

It's play ball and works.......

After that...

I was so glad of some sleep tea after that 🎡
