I gave Penelope my hand-me-down Bernina Record 830 (she has NO IDEA what she has - those things go for A LOT on ebay). She knows how to do a straight line, but that's about it. At some point I'll teach her the foundations of sewing with patterns, using the back-stitch, finishing seams and what-not. Until then, I'm loving every minute of her free spirit made manifest through clothing. This girl's creativity just rocks my world. And Felix's patience for her creativity is unmatched. I think the dot of green marker on his left earlobe completes the look, don't you?
