It was on the sewing machine. I had decided to make my own costume. My finger went under the presser foot and got very bruised. I just missed putting the needle through it! It was shortly after my divorce. My girlfriend thougt it would be a great way to exercise so we enrolled in a class in a local dancing school. We didn't last long. Although, she was in the recital. Not me. I learned that not only is belly dancing a strenuous exercise, but it can be very dangerous. I never finished the costume, but I still have my zills.
