Den nye symaskinen min! - My new sewing machine!

Etter flere måneders leting, søking og rådgivning fra venner har jeg endelig kjøpt meg symaskin. Det finnes sikkert bedre maskiner og det finnes sikkert verre maskiner, men dette er symaskinen som er perfekt for meg. Har brukt den for første gang i dag og laget ferdig dette bokomslaget som jeg har brodert tidligere. Gleder meg til å bruke den utover høsten når vi flytter inn i den nye leiligheten vår.

After several months of looking, searching and advising from friends I have finally bought myself a sewing machine. I am sure there are better machines, and I am sure there are worse machines, but this is the sewing machine that is perfect for me. I have used it for the first time today and finished this book cover that I have been stitching on earlier. I'm looking forward to use it this coming autumn when we move in to our new apartment.

  1. Til lykke med symaskinen og sikke et fint projekt! Jeg elsker lyseblå tern og har netop købt striber i samme farver. Jeg er vild med dit blomstervedhæng. knus Mette

  4. What a lovely book cover. I like it.
    I used the Joname sewing machine in my sewing class, too. It is good.

  7. Lucky you! I think the sewing machine looks prefect!! The stitching is great - I've never really mastered the art of sewing in straight line!

  8. Thank you for all the nice comments on my new sewing machine!

    I am so happy that you (Nydia & Syko) say the machine i good. Since I have left for "moving-vacation" I will not be able to try it out more until I'm back in Oslo.

    Caroline - the only thing I have made so far is the book cover. But be sure that as soon as I get my appartment in order and get the hang of my machine more things will be made :-)

    Di- the straight stitching is mastered by anyone and everyone with some help of "stramei", which I have no clue what is called in english. I will have to make a post about it later on.
