Default Where I sew

I go through phases of sewing, mainly because I'm such a messy mare, that I don't have the space to do so. But given that I've invested some semi-serious cash on a new sewing machine (Viking Husqvarna 875Q) and I've had it 2 weeks and not been able to do anything with it due to lack of space I considered it high time I finally cleaned up enough to be able to use it.

I'm hoping to be able to attach some photos for you to be able to see, but if it doesn't work, they are on my blog[ATTACH=CONFIG]339660[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]339661[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]339662[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]339663[/ATTACH]

The before photos were taken in January and it's been an uphill battle since then to get it how it is now

And here's the machine

You definitely need to get busy on your 875Q. I have one and love it! BTW, your sewing area looks a lot like mine.

Great job on the reorg! Nothing like a new baby to motivate us.

I've had a little tiny bit of a play, but only really testing out some of the stitches, on some plain cotton. I haven't even changed the foot yet. I'm too tired and hungry to do much more, but here in the UK we have a long jubilee holiday weekend so I'm hoping I'll feel a bit more alive tomorrow.

But I am loving her.
