Sewing disaster!

today we were together and we wanted to make something so we decided to make a scripture bags. so we went to grace's house and got some cute fabric from her mom. the fabric was blue green and brown with different designs on it! we went back up to ellie's and got there sewing machine out and it looked very anciant   and very VERY confusing!!! so we got a card table and brought it down in ellie's room and made a sewing area. we had no idea how to use this old sewing machine so we read the manuel, and were still very lost. we tried over 10 million times to figure out how to use the thing. we just ended up ruining the tablecloth we were practicing on. the sewing machine started going out of control we thought we had fixed it but we were wrong. the sewing machine  was shaking uncontrollably, and we couldn't stop it and ellie almost lost a finger! we could not figure out what or were the bobbin was we where so lost and confused we went and had a hot pocket. it was good, then we went back to the 'thing' and were trying REALLY hard to sew but grace broke the needle. then we cleaned up and now we are going back downstairs to do it again, this time we know how to do it... maybe!
