How a small piece of plastic can ruin your vacation!
This summer I decided not to take a vacation away from home. I spent my days lounging with my family, my brothers, sister and my mother since we all live close. I also finally got a lot of sewing done. I made a few outfits for mom and a few for myself but while finishing up one of my last blouses I heard a terrible sound from inside my machine when I pushed the button to do a back tack, then out fell this little piece of plastic! My heart sank. I have never been without a sewing machine. I've called several repair places and some are on vacation and others that I knew of years ago are out of business. I am at my wits end, I have to get this machine fixed. Wish me luck.

Thanks for you comment on my blog. Your post is giving me ideas! As far as your machine konking out...how is it that you don't have a backup machine? What are you thinking? As soon as you get your machine fixed, go in search of an inexpensive used machine for a backup. Check Goodwill, Salvation Army, Craigslist etc. A backup machine is like the American Express card, don't be without one!
Thanks for the comment about my graffiti shirt. You are SO right. When I first saw the fabric, I was reminded of the view from the El going to work every day, and how I used to think that the elaborate graffiti was pretty in a strange way.
From one Philly girl to another, we should get together sometime.
P.S. - did you ever get your machine fixed? There's a sewing machine repair guy named Jack DeSorte out at 60th & Market who's inexpensive and very good.
