So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Brother SE270D Computerized Sewing and Embroidery Machine: The Pure Joy of Sewing

By Michelle Robert

When I was young, my mother sewed my clothes, and practically everything else. It was the era when every girl learned to sew as a necessity, and most women sewed as a way to save money.

Despite learning to sew myself, as an adult I found that sewing did not particularly save me money, nor was it as commonplace: in fact, it was not a complement at all for something to be "home-made". And with outlets and discount stores, many things were cheaper to buy than to make yourself.

But then I had my daughter and my sewing genes emerged. I guess my artistic side yearned to make beautiful items and wanted a challenge for my creativity. Interestingly, my interest in sewing coincided with the renaissance of sewing and crafts in general, as many folks discovered the satisfaction that comes from creating something is "hand-made".

So this big new world of sewing for fun and creativity was before me and millions of others, and this was certainly different from our mothers' world of sewing from economic necessity. Everyone realized that sewing is fun, relaxing, and a great way to keep those creative juices flowing. We began to sew because we wanted to, not because, like our mothers, we had to.

And this sewing world we are in now is certainly not that of our mothers! Sewing machines, for example, have come a long way from the basic running stitch! Our machines are now computerized, providing endless versatility, a wide variety of stitches and patterns, and even embroidery options.

The Brother SE270D Computerized Sewing and Embroidery Machine is a wonderful example of one of these "all-in-one" machines that provide us with so many fun things to create! With 97 embroidery designs, there is a huge amount of versatility. There are even 5 built-in embroidery monogram fonts in 3 different sizes, so that you can create an unbelievable variety of emblems, logos, and insignias. There is just no limit to the possibilities, or to the fun for that matter.

Now yes, you can benefit financially from sewing, that is certainly true. Many folks do save money making their own items, and many more have channeled their talents into sewing/altering garments for others. But for for many...as it is for me...the joy is simply in the creation.
