Presenting -- Sewing Machine!

The new addition -- Janome "Top 12" -- front loading bobbin, manual stitch selector, semi-automatic button holes, and (surprising in the price class) -- a (semi-automatic) needle-threader!

Price 11700 R, or something like $180.  Would've been cheaper in December...

First project -- repurposed a long sleeve shirt with torn elbow into a short sleeve shirt.  Did one of my shirts and one of his.

And, found a use for the ends of the sleeves -- use the existing button hole and make one on the other side, and voila, Barbie has a "cape."
