Well, there go my plans for the evening.

bladesparkMy sewing machine has broken. I'm not sure exactly what is wrong, it's something in and around the bobbin. The little whatsit that holds the bobbin in place is supposed to be firmly fixed to the rest of the machine, and only the bobbin itself moves, but the whole thing, whatsit and all, is shifting around when I try to sew a stitch, and that's not good.
This ordinarily wouldn't make a lick of difference, as I sew 90% of my projects by hand anyhow, but of course this month I have two major projects that pretty much require the machine.
Figures, doesn't it?
So I'll be calling the repair place tomorrow and seeing what they can do for me. Meanwhile tonight instead of sewing a Cheshire cat, I shall work on tails for FC. Hopefully I'll still have the cat done this week anyhow. *crosses fingers* It's got a deadline to meet before the end of the month, so things are getting tight. The other project, a rabbit bodysuit, can probably manage if I don't get to it for a few more weeks, I hope. I can, and shall, do the head and paws by hand anyhow, so I've those to work on.
So much to do!!!!
