But it was worth it. I managed to get through the two different oilcloth zipper pouch patterns before my machine did a final cough and died. I should have realised there was something wrong during the sewing due to the fact it sounded like I was operating a steam engine. Now the real adventure begins though…trying to get a sewing machine fixed in rural Italy.
