Hmm, this footing seems rather slippery for some reason...

Clothes are kind of pricey, and it is sometimes hard to find ones that I really like, so to save money and make costumes I'm hoping to get more into sewing in the near future. To do that, I need fabric. So I've been looking at fabric online and I'm coming to the conclusion that fabric is also expensive. (That, or I'm not looking in the right places). This, in turn, has led me to contemplate that yarn, especially weaving yarn, is pretty cheap... and now I am thinking that maybe I could make my own fabric. But to do that I'd need a loom, and, guess what! Looms are expensive (I'm starting to see a pattern here...) On the other hand, I suspect that I've got enough woodworking skills to make a basic loom... especially if I can find the parts that aren't made out of wood...

Honey, it comes out of the cabinet to get serviced. ::grins and pats you on the head again:: It will fit in a foot well.

~laugh~ Right then, in exchange for instruction and pattern to make wrap pants, I'll happily assist in reuniting you with your serviced sewing machine ^_^

(The reason I asked is because Sarah's got one of the ones that is mounted on a table... though now that I think about it, you can probably detach it from the table to get it serviced...)

Yep. There are generally two pins that the machine attaches to and that hinges it into and out of the table. Remind me to show you the nifty ways my grandfather altered my table for my grandmother.
