The Futura II

I'm really excited about this 1976 Singer sewing machine I bought from Craigslist.  I have absolutely NO idea how to sew.  It took me about thirty minutes to thread the needle last night (but I'm going to blame the red wine for that).  Then I somehow broke it.  Luckily, Gregory's mother taught him how to sew so tonight is my first sewing lesson!

So, now that I am about 1/3 of the way through a year of not buying new clothes, it will be super helpful to know how to fix little holes and hem pants.  I am very excited to get started!
