I'm holding up pretty well, considering I have NO IDEA if or when the Porsche needle clamp screw will ever show up on my doorstep. I am trapped in back-ordered limbo. It isn't like I can drive down to the local hardware store and pick one up - I would have done that ages ago. So, I'm stuck with my canvas needle in my Bernina - and since it's being held in place by the broken needle clamp screw, I'm not even sure how stable that is - or for how long.
So I need a suitable canvas needle project and I think I have one in mind. Our new TV came with a nice remote, we have the satellite remote, we have the remote for the Bose stereo (hooked up to the TV) and the VCR/DVD remote. I know - one remote can control all of those things, but my husband is not ready to let go of his precious stash of remotes. Whatever - he watches more TV than I do, so whatever keeps him occupied (so I can go upstairs and sew.....) is good with me.
We need something to reign in this hodgepodge of remote controls, so I think I'll make up a basket that is 1) long enough and 2) wide enough so they can all nest nicely together. I bought the book It's A Wrap last summer, fooled around a little and loved the technique & the ability to use up some not-so-nice fabrics in a way that makes them look wonderful. Bonus - I have a strong needle in the machine, so sewing through all the layers of clothesline & fabric will be a snap. Wish me luck, I'll post pictures if/when I'm successful!
