My sewing machine is currently set up in our basement workshop. I recently made four skirts: two from tablecloth fabric, one from a sheet, and one from batik fabric that I was given for Christmas. I had a lot of problems with breaking threads, and used up several more spools of handed-down thread than I expected to. I used the same pattern for all four skirts, from a sketch I had in one of the wardrobe booklets that I had made a couple of years ago. One of the skirts is waiting to be overdyed.
I also sewed a new seat and back for one of our director's chairs, which had been waiting a long time for new canvas. That process involved more troubleshooting than sewing, because my sewing machine didn't like the weight of thread that I was trying to use. At one point I had my machine more taken apart for dust removal than I had ever done before; its innards were actually a lot cleaner than I expected.
