No time to sew!

Can you believe I haven't had time to turn the computer on for the last couple of days?!   Well, I guess, I could have found time, but I decided that spending an afternoon chatting with my sister was a priority yesterday, because I hardly ever see her, and then, I was out singing in a Christmas concert last night.  Yes, I think I managed to sing the alto part fairly accurately!!

The extent of my sewing activity for the last 2 days has been sewing up 4 buttonholes on a chunky cardigan to stop the buttons coming undone too often........however, I did finish the back of this Aran cardigan while chatting with said sister, yesterday.......

.......... I wonder which winter I'll get the rest of it made?

Sadly, the dining room curtain fabric hasn't moved yet.   Maybe I'll do the seams on my new overlocker.     This is a type of sewing machine, but as you can see, quite a complex one!

After reading the instructions (and a moment or two of sheer panic) I managed to thread it.....it has 4 threads and two needles...

I'll let you know how it goes when I'm bave enough to try sewing with it!!!
