Sewing Lessons

Kelly taught me the basics of machine sewing this afternoon. Thanks for your patience, dear… I wasn’t the most model student. We discussed properly squaring up the fabric, threading the machine, and guiding the fabric.

I’m trying to create wearable audio cables which are a component of final project.

The result of my first experiment was not so successful. The machine seemed to choke on the conductive thread, even though I was feeding it from the bobbin (sp?).
