My parents gave me some money for my birthday to buy a sewing machine and I don’t mind putting in some myself to get a nice one. I bought a used one on Craigslist but it stopped working and I think it’ll cost more to repair than if I just bought a new one.

My mother-inlaw gave me her mother-inlaws sewing 1959 sewing machine. It has the wooden workstation, desk, thing that it’s inside and her mother-inlaw painted that part white to make it match the rest of the room it was in. I like the old wood that it was originally, and would LOVE to know [...]

I am thinking about getting a serger. I am pretty mechanical and have limited space (I have a dedicated sewing room, but it’s very small and I have WAY too much fabric stash). I sew a lot of doll clothes with tiny seams, so I think I need a free arm (is that like [...]
