Well I bought myself an Embroidery machine for Xmas and haven't regretted it since. I've made patches and odd embroidered things. I've also gotten into Cosplay mode and made my first outfit with the new machine. Yeah it's got it's quirks, but nothing I can't get around.

I made my Alucard Jacket and vest with the new machine and the button hole maker is fantastic (one of the banes for me was making button holes the correct size).

I even made my alu-puppet with it. To much fun and with over 130 different stitches I never get bored. Though the broken needles are more frequent with this machine (don't kill me. It just happens and to me broken needles are a sign of a good cosplay).

ACEN 2009 is only a few months away (dam it comes up fast), so much to do, so little time to do it. Thank god my company gave us Fridays off. No pay, but more time to sew.
