Make it Hurt So Good
I have been working on a wrap dress from a tried-and-true pattern to put my sewing life back on course. It is going well so far, thanks in part to my newest acquisition. Behold!
Oh yes, splendiforous: the Rowenta 8900. The reason the iron 'hurts so good' is that I got a tiny little burn the first time I used it. I used to touch my old iron all the time and it was never hot enough to burn me! I got it on Thursday night during the Villain/Taryn Sewing Hour and it is a lovely piece of German engineering. Though, I must admit, the steam is not quite as voluminous as I like unless it's on the 'self clean' setting. I guess one really doesn't need as much steam as I thought. As a special treat, I got to use a 40% off coupon! Yay! I mean it was still about 70 bucks, but it is proving to be well worth it, especially since good old mom is donating for it. Now all I need is a dressmaker's dummy... Ok, maybe after I move.
WHY CAN'T I MOVE RIGHT NOW???
