My Sewing Machines

I have owned 7 different domestic sewing machines over the years with my passion of sewing.

My first sewing machine in my teens was a bright orange Husqvarna

then in my  20's I was introduced to the Pfaff range of sewing machines.

I was so impressed I had gone from dials to push buttons

Then  I went computerised with  this Pfaff.

 I created most of my fashion label on it over the 12 years I had her

along with a 3 thread Pfaff overlocker

that I hated with a passion when I had to rethread it.

 Then  two years ago my eyes wandered at a Sydney Craft Show

 and

I  fell in love with.

My Quilt Expression 4

she has so many features I just love

and I'm looking forward to showing you what she is capable of doing.

Isn't she pretty!!!!

I also  have  a basic  brother embrodiery machine

I love how I can set this up, walk away and she still continues to sew for me

and 

I have a Janome 744D My lock

 So as you can see that my sewing room is currently set up for any sewing challenge that comes along.

I always enjoy playing with them.

My Fabric Stash

I have always had some fabrics on hand over the years with my sewing, usually fabrics left over from projects that I had completed or fabrics I purchased or thought I would use.
But it wasn’t until I decided to give quilting & patchwork ago that I discovered you need a stash .
What a great reason to shop !!!!!!

This is my stash cupboard

Now I  fell in love with these panels,

I needed a place to hang them so my stash cupboard was the prefect place.
I hand quilted each one with a black running stitch, found some great quilt hangers on eBay & attached them to my cupboard.
I just love eBay, I find the most amazing stuff I can stash :-)

I just love the quotes on them

She who Buys the most fabric Wins!

Life is short buy more stuff

Need has nothing to do with it.....

Do you have a special fabric stash spot?

Welcome to Kimzeee's Sewing Room.

What goes on in your sewing room?

 This blog is about what happens in mine,

 I create &  design,

I make mistakes,

I make wonderful gifts,

I eat & drink,

I watch Tv & listen to music,

I laugh, cry & I get frustrated & surprised,

I photograph projects,

I search on the  internet, chat on phone & sms,

I hide stuff & loose stuff,

I escape into my world

 just to think of a few things.

My passion in sewing

 at the moment is patchwork, quilting, applique,

 anything i can do on a sewing machine, 

as well as 

 trying new sewing gadgets.

I love technology & using it to make my sewing life simpler.
