sewing machine world

We might never know if Sewing Machine World actually did any work on Katie's machine, but even if they did fix the presser foot, it was Katie's genius that made this shirt project.

We started with an oversized In the Spin juggling shirt. Then we played with pins and thread. Then we found the mix of stretchy shirt and semi-rubbery, friction-filled graphic to be a great clog in the machine.

Enter Sewing Machine World and frustration.

Ultimately, Katie suggested covering the graphic in paper to allow the project to slide easier. I sewed through it, tore the paper away, and ended up with a shirt. A juggling shirt.

It's for Purdy!
