Isn't it beautiful? I'd been talking for ages about getting a sewing machine for myself, due to my enthusiasm for (albeit not necessarily skill with) couture and frustration with tailors in village. I was getting kind of tired of stabbing myself with sewing needles trying to sew by candlelight during power outages. (True story. I really wanted to wear that dress!) And then a (*cough*) friend came to visit and brought me this!! Via bush taxi. Yeah.

Now I just need to figure out how to make it work....

That is a, uh, very nice friend. And a VERY nice sewing machine, especially considering it's been living in Africa for many many years. The one I found in a table someone gave me isn't nearly as cool.
