I did it! 17 months ago

I have my sewing machine! It’s a Singer and it’s wonderful. I sat and read the manual and just smiled when I opened it. Where will I keep it? I don’t know, my husband is in school so the office is his domain and there is no room in the guest room. I’m hoping when we get our new bookshelves in the living room I can put it and all my other craft stuff in the bottom behind some cabinet doors. We’ll see what we can find.

I'm using my mom's. 2 years ago

I’m pretty sure she’ll want it back soon. I will need to buy one after I move.



sewing machine <3 2 years ago

Craigslist, $100, and an hour or two drive, and my wonderful boyfriendperson surprised me by buying me a beautiful old antique Singer. It’s marvelous and I made two baby quilts on it over the winter. I’m a big fan of a sturdy old metal machine, so it’s PERFECT.

Craigslist, $40, and an hour drive, and I’ve got my own rather nice machine! Hot diggity!



cupboard under the stairs 2 years ago

We have a sewing machine but it’s really old and we’re not quite sure if it works. Gonna get it out from the cupboard this weekend to see if it does.



This is becoming a bit of a drag 2 years ago

... there are things I want to make, and like I said before I’m not doing any more lockstitching by hand. I’ll admit I’ve dragged my feet on this, but… I could go to ebay but shipping expenses on big+heavy things like this don’t really make it worthwhile. Better to buy second-hand locally, but that involves a severe amount of run-around. I’m not much of a mind to opt for those cheap Chinese-made ones at Wal-Mart either. One of those 1950s-era Singer 200’s (or whatever the model is) would probably be perfect, all I need is that it sews a straight line, reverses and has variable pitch.



Finally got a sewing machine. 2 years ago

Just gotta learn how to use it. hehe. >>;



Untitled 2 years ago

this used to be “learn to sew”, except looking back on all the complicated projects i made in home economics class (uhh, going on 15 years ago now, impossibly), really what I want to do is remind myself how to sew, which involves buying a sewing machine.
