This one didn’t turn out quite how I expected…mostly because mom and I found out the pedal to her sewing machine was missing. (It has since been found.) But we did sit down and mom explained piece by piece how the sewing machine worked and while watching her experienced the fingers thread the bobbin did look a bit like sorcery I now understand how the thing works. Now that the missing pedal has been found we have plans to sit down with some mending and we’ll see if I actually understand how the machine works!
