New sewing machine and another mobile phone case.

Yesterday I treated myself to a new sewing machine a Janome 525s. My old machine did not have a drop feed switch so this was the main reason for a change as I would like to try free motion embroidery. This new machine has lots of features and came  
with six feet including an automatic buttonhole foot and metal quilt guide.
Orange and Blues Mobile Phone Case

I just listed this cute mobile phone case on Folksy today. I have lots of colourful wool I could make a few more like these!
