Sew Hard to Sew!

Raegen is vertically challenged (he gets it honest!) and few of his pants are an appropriate length. I've been pinning them up, but that looks terrible and doesn't wash well. I had hoped to use hem tape, but after researching I found out once it's ironed on, it's not coming off! So I decided to hem his pants the old fashioned way and use a basting stitch so it can be easily removed and re-hemmed as he grows.

While on my last pair of pants, my machine broke!

(Correction: This is not MY machine, it is Stacy's!! So, Stacy's machine broke!!)
As you can see in the picture below, my needle holder is no longer attached to the piston above. That is not good. I will have to take it to a repair shop and have it welded back together! :)
