Husqvarna Viking is giving away an Emerald 116I don’t watch football, but I hear that there was a sewing machine on the sidelines of this year’s Iron Bowl.  An Emerald 116 by Husqvarna Viking.  It came through in a pinch and made some emergency repairs to a player’s jersey.  And it’s headed to the BCS National Championship on January 6.

To celebrate, Husqvarna Viking is giving away an Emerald 116 in their Countdown to Kickoff: HUSQVARNA VIKING® Giveaway.

To enter, go to Husqvarna Viking USA’s Facebook page and answer this question:  “What is the most unusual place or project you have sewn with your machine?”  Husqvarna Viking USA will select one comment at random on game day as the winner.

Comments

  1. I made a replacement top for a pop up camping trailer. This was many years ago when I was a teenager. It was a very heavy project to work on with a domestic sewing machine.

  2. I once took my sewing machine on a cross country road trip to visit family in another state. I thought I might need it to make something, and I did. I would take it camping if I could plug it into a tree.

  3. I was making costumes for my granddaughters play at school called Beauty is the beast and my granddaughter was beauty i had to make all her costumes and two boys shirts at the school most of the time on the floor but very rewarding for me to see my work up there

  4. The most unusual thing I’ve made is probably a band/cover for magnets that we used on my daughter that had migranes. The magnets needed to be held on her head so I made a band they would fit in that had a velcro closure. She used this band for several years.

  6. Made a teddy bear in 1/2 hour for my mom while she was in home hospice to keep her from pulling on her oxygen hose, it worked! It kept her otherwise occupied and kept her busy until she passed away. TGFTB. (Thank God for Teddy Bears!)

  10. I went to visit my daughter in Wyoming who just moved her family into a new home. I took my very old 1985 Viking with me. We made baby blankets for the new baby of course, and curtains for the new house!!!!!

Easy Cosmetics Bag Sewing Pattern

The bag is simple, uses very little fabric (about 2/3rds of a fat quarter), has no fussy inside pockets (although you can add your own if you like), and takes me well less than 30 minutes to print the pattern, cut out and sew. But quick and simple doesn’t mean it’s not awesome!

It’s the sort of bag that is versatile enough to be used for lots of applications, not just cosmetics and toiletries. Keep all your pens and pencils in order, use it for a small first aid kit for the car, keep it in your desk at work for a few headache pills and other personal supplies.

Make some for yourself, for gifts or to sell.
