since my last sewing machine died in tokyo, i've been meaning to buy a new one. but we were holding off to see what options we have in singapore and hopefully purchase one with a local warranty and english instructions!
after a whole lot of dilly-dallying, we finally got a singer. this is one of their most basic models but i chose it because i think its about time i go back to the basics and learn sewing properly! it doesn't even have a computer or auto threader or anything!! just simple knobs and dials!
i can't wait to sew on it!!!
now im plotting and planning what my first project should be!
xx
Oh YAY!! I just got a Singer sewing machine for Christmas. I'm a total newbie at sewing, but I just finished my first skirt and it wasn't as scary as I thought it would be. Learning to thread the thread through the machine was the hardest part for me.
ReplyDeletewow! a skirt at your first attempt, that's pretty awesome! the first thing i made was a pillow cover. three straight lines and i was done. i don't think i even serged the edges! lmao! :)
DeleteI think a basic machine is all you need! I got one with an automatic threader and gazillion stitches which I have not used at all. Only straight stitching for me and when I am slightly more adventurous, zigzags haha ;)
ReplyDeletePost pics of your completed overall!
the automatic threader is GOLD though! my last machine (brother) had one and now i curse each time i squint and thread my machine!! :)
Deletei will!! :) when i figure out how to buttonhole it!
That's a cute little machine. If I lived in Singapore, I'd be sewing all day long with all the lovely fabrics available to buy. I just bought some fabric from Arab St a few weeks ago, when on holidays. Wish I'd bought some more.
ReplyDeletearab street!! ah!! i need to go soon! i wanna see your stash!! xx
DeleteI have a singer too! but i think mine's even more basic than yours.. cant wait to see your projects!! =)
ReplyDeleteyou do!? that's awesome! i think basic is all i need given that my skills are pretty basic too!
Deletehoping to find time to squeeze in a little bit each day! *stares accusingly at blake*
