<p>"Sewing machines sold since 1980 are made with ever more plastic parts and lower quality metals. Simultaneously, the introduction of computerized models, which look fancier, drove a perception of superior quality. A perception happily exploited by the manufacturers who were actually turning out machines of decreasing quality and durability."</p><p>We wholehearted endorse this blog post!</p><p><a href="https://www.elfk.in/blog/vintage-sewing-machines-ftw" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="www.elfk.in/blog/vintage-sewing-machines-ftw"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">www.elfk.in/blog/vintage-sewin</span><span class="invisible">g-machines-ftw</span></a></p><p><a href="/tags/sewing/" rel="tag">#Sewing</a> <a href="/tags/sewingmachines/" rel="tag">#SewingMachines</a></p>
<p>Finished my paper airplane FPP <a href="/tags/quilt/" rel="tag">#quilt</a> recently and am already well into the next project. Except for the backing which I don't like enough to show it's all thrifted and salvaged fabric. Each plane is ditch stitched on my machine and then the "speed lines" are big hand stitching. <a href="/tags/sewing/" rel="tag">#sewing</a> <a href="/tags/quilting/" rel="tag">#quilting</a></p>
<p>I set up a little blog to document some sewing projects rather than clutter up my more nature-focussed feed here.

<p>First day of <a href="/tags/scanagile26/" rel="tag">#scanagile26</a>! Here are some hotel selfies of a blouse I sewed recently and am wearing today. Have been hoarding this fabric for a long time until I finally sewed it up. The pattern is loosely based on the Wiksten Tova tunic, which sadly is no longer available. Same pants as yesterday 😲.<br>I also made my bracelet!<br><a href="/tags/sewing/" rel="tag">#sewing</a> <a href="/tags/diy/" rel="tag">#diy</a></p>
