What does the confident, entreprenurial mom do when something doesn't work, and she can't fix it? Call her mom! "Moooom" (you have to imagine the frustrated wail as the independent woman is suddenly reduced to the status of frustrated 8 year old.) "I can't get my sewing machine to work! What does E6 mean? Help!"
Dun da daduun! Mom to the rescue! My fantastic, amazing mother stopped by after class, with two hours to go before she had to be at work, to take a look at my sewing machine, which has been driving me crazy lo, this past week and a half. Turns out that I 1) didn't have the spool cap on 2) I had the spool threaded upside down. And 3) I was pulling on the fabric when I should've just been guiding it.
Cue sheepish look and very small "oh." And then "Yay mommy! You fixed it!"
So! Now that that is finished, I'll have everything sewn together by tomorrow. Go me, and go mom!
