RE: NeedleWorkMonday - Learning to Sew with Mom ~

in #needleworkmonday6 years ago

I learned sewing from my elder sister but haven't sewed for 20 years. Now I'm seeing all those upcycling an alteration projects here and consider buying a sewing machine again. Might make a great christmas present for myself ;)

I wish you good luck and a lot of fun with your family sewing class!

Sort:  

Ooooh, which one will you buy?

Probably this one:

It's quite simple but not the cheapest one of the company because it has a needle threader - my eyes will thank me for that ;) It costs 159€ but they often have returns which they sell at 119. Some models of this company are similar to Janome - but I'm not that savvy of sewing machines.

That would be great @muscara! So is sewing like swimming or riding a bike? Once you learn you can’t forget? I’m sure once you pick it back up you’ll be non stoppable! 😄 Do you have a machine in mind already?

Thanks so much! It’s been a lot of fun already!

I hope that sewing isn't like riding a bike. Because if they tell you that you can't forget how to ride a bike: all lies. Bold, barefaced lies.

Because of course we never looked for my mother's glasses after she decided to try out my new bicycle. It was autumn, all these lovely leaves everwhere and she took a dive into the biggest heap of them. Needle in a haystack anyone? That was the first (and the last) time I saw my mother on a bike. (She was okay, nothing hurt but her pride and the brake lever of said bike).

Oh no!!! I hate to hear that moment made her stay away from bikes. I’m so glad she wasn’t hurt. Yikes!
