Casa Robino

dear casa tribe

i stayed at the house in march and left some clothes behind. it is two or three dresses, leggings, and a pullover or so. i think robin will know where they ended up. please don't ask how that happened, and if you want to know just meet me :-)

now i will be home in berlin in a couple of weeks and i am not sure when and if i will come back to amsterdam. if there is someone who will go to berlin could you please give that being the clothes to take them along? i will fetch them up anywhere in the city.

Once there was a young lady called Laura who had the brilliant idea to get a sewing machine, and when she moved on to other places, she left it here at casa. It wasn't being used much, mostly because people didn't know it was here. But then yesterday when Emma was using some needles and wires with her hand and when I mentioned sewing machine, her eyes grew wide and sparkled all over.

Now we got some more pillows fixed, and some clothes. And we will give the machine a nice spot for everyone to see it and use.

I have cleaned up all the random bits of clothes . Anyone who is missing something, collect your stuff before next friday or it will be given away. Anyone who needs clothes free giveaway after friday.

So, my project is officially a work in progress.

I bought a sewing machine from a junky today.
He found it in a canal, so it's sustainable.
Only, the junky was disguised as a sweet old man who owns a little shop in Weesp that specializes in selling sewing machines (as well as thread and zippers).

It is a 1969 PMC Lichtgewicht (a child of the 60s, probably a rebel in its time. and lightweight, about 20 kilo, so very portable, would probably be a good conversation piece while hitch hiking)

And...
