Saturday began with a trip to Brighton. The Silver Vixen has been spending time looking for and research various sewing machines that will allow her to participate in some new needle & thread based endeavours.
Having had several machines serviced this week, and confirmed that the techniques in question were beyond them, the research continued with greater vigour. This culminated in this morning’s trip and session in a Brighton sewing shop where the models under consideration could be tried and tested. Sam, the eager and talented assistant recognised a kindred spirit (the Silver Vixen, not the Gorse Fox) and they switched to a new language of bobbins, open toed feet, tensions, stitch lengths, and free motion. The Gorse Fox watched, bemused.
Some 45 minutes later we headed to the exit, a new toy clutched in our hands. The Gorse Fox suspects it will be a quiet afternoon – and may in fact be days before the Silver Vixen emerges again from her lair.
