project runway progress
so you have to bring in 3 current items (clothing that you designed and made) along with your portfolio. My sewing machine had crapped out, so last week I bit the bullet and decided to pay to have it fixed. $180 later I am sewing last night, working on the last garment and it binds up again. Friday is the first day of open calls. I will take in the machine today (still under warranty, but how much you want to bet they find something else totally wrong that I have to pay to fix. yikes!) not good to be spending money when I am 3 days from being unemployed. Hopefully they can even fix it in time. I do have my serger that I could use to sew the rest with, but I hate that machine. It is really loud and the chain stitch is too easily pulled out. So do I just buy a new cheap machine, or spend money to get mine fixed? I still have sketches to do for my portfolio, so there is work that I can do while the machine is being repaired. Auditions are open Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, but I am afraid of the crowds and was hoping to get in first thing on Friday. Maybe I just buy a new machine, sew my project, and then return it?
