I've been doing a lot of handsewing lately. I have two cabinet sewing machines with knee switches and a Babylock, yet I sit on the couch in front of the tv with a needle thread most of the time. Of course what I've made the most of lately is garb for Waffle and Lolly (the Build-A-Bear frog and bear respectively I drag around and take pictures of)and my excuse is that stuff is small and fiddly and just easier to do by hand.
