Oh Brother, where art thou?

On it's way out the door! Brother, you have been a faithful machine but your replacement has arrived.

The cape finally got made but this time without any trouble, gobbled up thread, or a gummed up needle. Sorry for the dark/fuzzy pictures. I had a reluctant model. I used this tutorial but did a few things differently. I lined the cape and did the applique another way. I was was afraid of reversing the letter...

This baby purrs as it sews. I think I'm in love.
