This is my new sewing machine, well there is one small difference and that is that the buttons on mine are blue, which is sad since I love the color red, but I figured I could sacrifice. I have been wanting a sewing machine for who knows how long. My mom will probably die reading this, since 15 years ago when she tried to get me to take sewing lessons it was like I was going to go into cardiac arrest before each "lesson". Then, in high school I took one semester or the sewing/home economics class. Pretty sure I made a great looking pair of pajama pants and my creativity and desire ended right there. Not until recently have I fallen back in love with sewing. I guess that now I have things that I actually want to make -- headbands, scripture bags, quilts (I have like 15 started), Halloween costumes, summer skirts, pillows and curtains.... the list could go on and on.
So, Nebo School District was selling all of their used machines that other teenagers, not unlike myself 15 years ago, have used and abused and I bought one. Well, I bought two -- one for me and one for my sister. I can hardly wait to go pick them up tomorrow, and then I can sew my little heart away. Thanks mom for teaching me to love sewing. Mostly, I just love the memory of those little dresses you made me. I still can't figure out how you ever had time for that with 5 children under the age of 7!

Hey, can I ask how much it was?? and if they have any more to buy?? I've been using my mother in laws (which is actually really nice), but I would really like one of my own. Yea for summer projects! I am with you on that one!
Karen,
I paid 300 for mine and 175 for my sisters. . . they might have some that people don't pick up. Just go to publicsurplus.com and then pick Nebo School District! :) Call me if you have any other questions!
Wow! That's an incredible deal for a sewing machine! And it's a Bernina (sp?) too?? Looks like they are all gone...o-well. Happy sewing! Be sure to post pictures of all your fun projects!
Hey Amber, make sure that you put pictures of your projects on your blog. I just started sewing about a year ago and I am always looking for ideas for new projects to try.
Amber,
We have the same sewing machine... blue buttons and all. We should work on projects together this summer. I miss you - when are we going to go kite flying? Do you want to go down to St. George with me when I go to visit Peggy in June sometime while she's out visiting? Let me know.
You're the best. Catherine
