I did it :-)

Yes, that's the nephew, Logan, in his apron.

The sewing machine had its first outing. I now know how to fill a bobbin and place it underneath and can solve basic jams. Sadly, I've also found out how to replace a needle, two in fact. Thankfully the second one broke just as I was stitching the last strap in place.

Every infant school nativity play needs a cheese seller and this one will be the best dressed!!!
