I'm really liking sewing up sweater dusters. I feel they are versatile and fashionable at the same time. I love the colors of the Hacchi sweater knit I bought from FabricMartFabrics.com and the green TNT dress I had in my closet was a great match.

I was afraid the duster looked too Mardi Gras.

My Brother CE7070PRW sewing machine started acting up and I just happened to look on Facebook Marketplace and someone had this Vintage Kenmore sewing machine for sale. It came with the manual, extra feet & some supplies. I have been considering an older machine because they are usually metal, made for heavier sewing.

It was a tight squeeze but I made it fit in my sewing room! The Kenmore is similar to the one my Mother had when I was growing up. Girl M. helped me clean it up and oil it and this machines runs beautifully!

The seller had this 2000 Janome beauty for sale too. They made me an offer I could NOT refuse. Both machines for $55! I could not bring them home quick enough. The Janome fit down into my sewing table perfect. My Brother didn't fit there. It was a match made in Heaven!

I ordered a new bobbin case for my Brother machine and it helped. I just think that since I sew A LOT that I need a heavy duty machine. But my Brother machine makes beautiful buttonholes and blind hem stitch for hemming. I'll just keep it working to use for sewing them.
