The sewing machine rarely comes out pretty much since I had the minis. James really wanted me to fix his ninja mask the other day. I was going to sew it by hand just so I wouldn't have to get the sewing machine out but I knew the sewing machine would be so much faster. So then I just decided to put it on my bathroom counter and get the job done and then put it back away. Sometimes you just gotta do what you gotta do.
