totchipandaI finally got to the sewing store this morning to pick up bobbins for Beatrice. I only have one for her, and after getting 4 new ones, I still only have one :( They are just ever so slightly wider, enough that the bobbin winder didn't want to wind unless I pressed it against the wheel, but not so wide that it didn't fit in the bobbin case, and ever so slightly shorter, enough that it wouldn't feed thread for more than 2 stitches. My Janome is pretty much unusable at this point, it sounds so awful, and I have no idea if the Brother even works (it hasn't been used in at least 4 years), which leaves me Beatrice, with a bobbin threaded in black.
I can go to the other store and see if they have anything, but it will have to wait until Monday. Near as I can tell, the middle part has a join with the discs that sticks up more than the existing bobbin's does. I don't know if I can get flatter ones.
I have a sewing date tonight! I can't really decide what to bring, so I will bring many things! I have a couple knitting projects on the go, one I can start (one of the ladies wants to knit a pineapple with me and I want to make another one wots beaded :D), and I SO want to work on my new Regency stays. But, they are white. I kinda want to do them by hand, and I'm not sure if I really hate myself quite THAT much? On the other hand, they are the short version, so it won't be quite AS bad, and my handsewing has both improved and could use improving still. I'm not sure I have enough of the pattern prepared to be able to do it away from home though. Of course, I have to insert 8 gores first, and so far have only done most of one. And maybe I want to do the top stitching with a pale pink or blue thread, for my own visual interest? They'll be front closing too, I hate trying to dress myself from behind me.
