Another good pattern, WMUTeach! I am getting started with my cutting. Then I will deal with the sewing. I have a local auction site that has a beautiful Singer 301A for auction with gorgeous table and bench. I promised myself no more sewing machines but it is a 301!! (supposed to have great straight stiching And it is beautiful. I did not plug it in so maybe it doesn't really work despite how smoothly the wheel turns....
