The Amazing Sewing Machine

This morning as I was browsing blogs I came across this link from C&T Publishing. It is a You Tube Video on the history of how sewing machines work. I was a little skeptical but found it very interesting. Click on the picture to link to the first of three parts.





That reminded me of an image I had seen on The Selvage Blog. She is always sharing interesting things. On the side of her blog she has linked to another blog that has this animated gif that shows how a sewing machine actually works.

It is mesmerizing watching the needle go up and down, up and down, sewing, sewing, sewing. . . . About the same feeling I get as I am sewing -- except not quite as satisfying because I have nothing to show for it.

Hope your Friday is full of fabric!
