Yesterday, E went to the airport for the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association's Homecoming Fly-In. There were lots and lots of airplanes (no surprise there), a stunt pilot who gave a spectacular performance, and dozens of vendor booths. E worked the Pilots n Paws booth for a couple of hours.

While E was at the airport, I met with someone who told me she wanted to begin sewing, but didn't want to spend a lot on a sewing machine. Hmmm. A few months ago, I rescued a Singer Fashion Mate 237 from the thrift store. After a lot of cleaning and oiling and lubricating and adjusting, it began to sew quite well. It's a very simple machine (straight stitch and zig zag only) and I never intended to add it to my herd of machines, so I was happy to send it home with her. I hope she will enjoy sewing as much as I do.
