Sewing mamas!Calling all AmityMama's who like to sew! Do you make quilts, clothes, diapers, bags? Do you love to run your fingers through fiber? Can't get enough just sewing, but want to talk about it too? Come on in!
A coverhemmer! And maybe a really nice sewing machine too. And an embroidery machine. And lots and lots of Alexander Henry fabrics. I'm obsessed with those lately!

I'd probably spend it at a sewing machine repair shop.... I need to get all my machines in working order... all nine of them. My singer 500 is screwed up again. I'm now borrowing my mom's featherweight to do what little sewing I can get done with the kids around and getting in to everything.

A solid basic serger, an old treadle machine for doing leather and heavyweight materials and a really good plus-size dressform. Then a great big rotary cutting mat, a set of high-end scissors (Gingher how I adore thee...), and a new sewing basket/bin and some trays for organization.
Once I had all that (if there was any money left) it'd be all about the fabric. Bolts of the pricier basics (gauze, lawn, linen, silk chiffon, plain black suitweight wool), and of the basic-basics (muslin, cotton broadcloth) and patterncloth. One of those Guttermann thread cabinets with 100 colors.
If there was still money left I'd get a real snap press with 14, 16, and 20 dies, then I'd clean up with lengths of whatever nice calicos and other fabrics caught my eye that day.
This one's easy. An embroidery machine and a super duper supply of embroidery thread. A quilting machine, a dressform and I'd spend the rest on storage stuff.

you are such an enabler!! where did you get all the ideas to try to make me want to spend money???LOL
i would get an emb. machine, some of the higher end fabric that i never buy, some cool trims, a table, storage (some of this would go for nonsewing items to give more room in my sewing area) and i don't know what else.

I would buy wool, silk, cotton, thermo lining, and whatever else I might need to cover these old, cold windows. Did I mention we have 61 in this house!
Of course there are some fabrics I'd like too.
