Congratulations! They are lucky to have you!

It's only something quick I did for fun and will not be in any book so it will probably not matter anyway. 😊

Haha I never thought about the machine being backwards but you are right about that, tells how often I use a sewing machine. 🤭

Artists, if you see this, post something RED! ❤️

I realize I don't do much red art if it's not Christmas. This is from the book När Rudolf hittade hem.
