I've got a new Brother sewing machine with an EX-660 computer. It has 59 stitches not counting the straight stich. Been going nuts altering and hemming things that had been let go for a long time. Now I'm out of sewing to do! Well, maybe except for one thing. I bought a black, zip up hoody last year that I wanted to rework by adding some lace and stuff to it. However, it didn't stay in good condition very long. The zipper, hood and pockets started coming unsewn. Then I left it on the seat of my wheelchair and it got caught up in the tires and ripped... but I could still cover up the rips with the heavy lace I have in mind. I'm having trouble making up my mind as to whether to go ahead and rework it or just leave it for when I'm bumming around. What would you do?

Also, I'd like to find a hobby to do with my sewing machine but one that would go fast because I can't sit at it even in my wheelchair for very long periods of time. If it's a long project, I'd be afraid to lose interest and waste money.

Anybody got any ideas or hobbies they do?
