Two sewing projects have been calling. One to help a friend begin with hand sewing a Rakasu (a traditional Soto Buddhist variation on Buddha's Robe) and the other to explore having a relationship with a very old Mocha long-bed singer sewing machine that I picked up at a yard sale last year.
Both projects I am happy to announce are underway. The Rakasu face is marked on the fabric and ready to cut and I have been merrily repairing anything that needs sewing repairs with the sewing machine.
Great joy is found in simple step by step - steps....

I've got a sewing project coming that would be made much easier by a machine. But I don't know how, and the only person I knew who did was my mother, now nearly 11 years gone. Perhaps I should go looking for a cast off, if you think you could teach me how?
Hi Jim,
I'm always pleased to share whatever I've learned on any subject. Maybe you can get a sewing machine on Falls Church freecycle?
