𝔄𝔤𝔞𝔱𝔥𝔞 𝔱𝔥𝔢 𝔖𝔴𝔢𝔞𝔯 𝔉𝔞𝔦𝔯𝔶Two months post hand surgery (#trapeziectomy with ligament reconstruction tendon interposition aka #LRTI), and I can finally, though painfully, just tap my pinky with my thumb. So today I did a small celebration by #sewing for the first time since surgery.
It's not a fancy project - just a roll for my screwdrivers - but it was nice to get back to a machine. I took the 1940 #Singer201 for a spin, and WOW what luxury! Sure, it's not as fast as my 301, but it's so smooth, quiet, and comfortable in comparison. It's 84 years old & every stitch was perfect!
It all took twice as long as normal to make, since my thumb isn't terribly functional (takes up to 9 months for recovery), and now I'm sore and tired, but I'm also pretty happy for this tiny bit of normalcy.
