When I saw the part about the payments and machines being repossessed, I had to laugh ~~would you believe that the very first thing we bought "on time" was the original 1959 Singer that I still have? We were on a small budget, but I wanted a machine so badly, he found a way to get me one, made those payments for months, but meantime, I learned to sew! Now we think about it, our whole credit life was started by the machine! :D Carolscrapsgalorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00780626728195586450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-46340160676595019382013-02-08T20:55:23.472-05:002013-02-08T20:55:23.472-05:00Thanks for sharing!

My daughter loved Modge Podge when she was a kid. Nowadays, I've used matte gel medium with similar results -- and it's okay over fabric, too. <br /><br />As for Quilt Cam tonight?

I won't bother to do mine as the case has a broken latch and I use a wheeled sewing machine tote for my Featherweight instead. But, then again, maybe I will haunt eBay now for a decent case just so I can do this. And every time I am within sight of scrapbooking stuff I will look for sewing themed papers. I already have two "books" of wrapping paper with quilts on them. Hmm, the wheels are turning. BTW, Martha Stewart and Rosie O'Donnell are both big fans of Mod Podge.Mary Ellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04066177625064170284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-48189163705825936722013-02-08T11:12:22.031-05:002013-02-08T11:12:22.031-05:00Thanks for all the wonderful pictures of the decou...Thanks for all the wonderful pictures of the decoupage sewing machine case!

Spending the day and tomorrow at a Crafting Day with a new quilt to work on but won't be too tired of piecing to join you. I used to Mod Podge everything...great idea for one of my old cases that has had some water damage. I think I will use some of my scraps for it.

I have it sitting on my counter with fruit in it. I used to do modge podge in my younger years, but hadn't done any since then.. might try and do some more plates for gifts.<br />I look forward to Quilt-Cam tonight and will try to get on the computer to watch/listen.. I always learn something new through quilt-cam.
