Η γιαγιά μας η καλή...
έχει ραπτομηχανή. (Our good grandmother has a sewing machine.)
There's an antique treadle sewing machine in our apartment, and our kind landlord suggested that I try it out. It took a few trials to get the rhythm of the treadle just right, but I managed to sew a few seams in some scrap cloth. Both kids cheered as we collectively figured it out.
I don't know that I'll be sewing up those Burdastyle patterns on it anytime soon. I am a little nervous about relying upon this machine for a whole garment, and I'm none too sure how it will handle curves. I am very proud, though that the chicken in me had the courage to give it a go!

That is awesome! I have total confidence that you could whip up those clothes.

Thanks for your confidence! We're all letting ourselves get wild and wooly here--Z loves her long hair.
