Over the Weekend

I made a list…….

013

Decided to start with the Pyramid Doorstops as I have wanted to make them for a few years Sad smile. 
Sew out come the overlocker. I sewed and sewed making two doorstops. Then when I went back after dinner to make more the overlocker seized up. The thread just knotted up underneath the foot. I cut it away and rethreaded the machine. Not ONCE but several times over three hours. Grrrrrrrrrr..
By then it was after midnight so off to bed.

Next afternoon silly me decided to try again but the same thing happened again and again. Finally I gave up. Put the overlocker away and finished the doorstops on my sewng machine…..


Must say after all my problems I am very happy with the end result..
What do you think?????

001

That's one thing off the list.........

    those doorstops look great Maria! I know how you feel though when a machine decides to 'play up'...it is soooo frustrating!

    Those are wonderful, Maria. What do you use for weight in them?

    Those sergers can be so picky. The threads have to be threaded in a certain order in mine and heaven help me if I thread #2 before #1!!!!

    I never thought to make these! I was just telling my husband that he needs to go get door stoppers. It's that time of year when we keep all the windows open and I'm already tired of slamming doors.

    What's inside?

    Your doorstops look wonderful!!
    I had to laugh at 3rd thing on your list. Does that mean you will be creating a new UFO each month - probably not but that's the way I read it at first.

    I love your door stops Maria. Don't you just hate overlockers. They are the biggest pain to thread!
