Sewing on Polly
Remember when I brought this Singer 15-91 home a while back? I decided to keep her on the main floor of the house, not upstairs with most of the herd. She's a sweet, simple machine and I really enjoy sewing on her. I named her Polly, after my grandmother who was named Pauline. Grandma was one of the main influences on me with sewing.
Last night it was terribly hot upstairs, especially after I made dinner (all the heat from the kitchen goes right up the steps and lingers there). I couldn't have stayed up there to sew if I had wanted to. Yes, there is a window a/c unit in the adjoining room, but it takes too long to really cool off and I wanted to sew sometime before midnight. So I decided to sew on Polly. I worked on the bags for the game and ended up making enough bags for two sets (16 bags) for an hour and a half. They needed to be turned right side out and filled, then they will need the opening sewn shut. Hoping to get to that tonight when I get home. Ev is just going to put the word out that I make these bags, so I'm not going up to Tilley's. I really wasn't too keen on going up there alone, and this solves that issue!
I also thought I might sew those tops together with the four patch strip blocks on Polly. Might as well, since they are all ready to go.

I love my 15-91, although I don't often sew with electricity. I made some really wonderful quilts on mine. (Right now it's serving as a bedside table!)
