I feel like these could also double as Molotov cocktails if I ever get angry and want to start fires. Lol.
Anyway ... I made two of them for about $15 ... torch fluid is kind of pricey.

Also, I'm sorry there are no tags. I tried to add them but the menu wouldn't load. :/

So I found a sewing machine...

I just found a Singer Athena 2000 sewing machine on the side of the road and snagged it! Now, I really know nothing about machines, and am wondering if any of you lovely crafters can give me advice on what/how to check if it's in good working condition. Thank you!
