The past few months have been a bit of a blur, and now there is snow on the ground and Christmas is 38 or 39 days away (per facebook), we’re in the middle of a remodel, and everything that belongs in the room under construction is in my sewing room.

Thank you Becky, I am very blessed.

My sewing machine went off for service
Now the cinema dress is my purpose

I am half way through a little lisette 1893 in size 16 (whaaat?). Fabric is a black embroidered voile chosen by miss Imogen herself. I hope to complete it tomorrow afternoon / evening. That will leave a solid day of sewing Wednesday to try and get something else made.

I might have to try and locate something for Noah rtw.

I just logged on for a peek
Like I do every other week

Patricia, thank you, that is just what I was after.
So, you went with her height (+ extra) and that was plenty long enough? Her height, 3T, would have been perfect now?

I have had “personality clashes” with machines before! I feel your pain!

It sounds like your machine is suffering some sort of complex or disorder cybele. The sooner you get a “diagnosis” the better and then it can go to therapy and you can get sewing on something considered “sane” again. Yes! Take the deal and run, it seems like a good one.
