Today
Layla started learning how to use her machine.
I had her sewing straight lines on paper without thread and I was amazed
how straight she was sewing- she is doing terrific for a 6 ½ year old!
The
machine I got for her is the Singer 1507WC- an awesome basic little machine! If
you are looking for a great machine to learn on, or for general repairs and
light sewing, around $80, this is the one!
When she was done with her practice stitching, I just had to play with
it! Lightweight and small, eight
stitches, a 4-step button-hole feature, a super smooth sewing experience and not noisy
at all- rated pretty high on Amazon. Heck,
I was super impressed with the cover they include – much better than the cheap
plastic one I got with my Singer Athena! This is so much better than the Brother I
bought years ago for almost 3 times as much that had no features. I have included a link to this machine through
Amazon to the right in the ads and remember – a portion of anything I receive
from your purchase through my ads goes to Dementia Research!
The
only problem with getting Layla the sewing machine is now I have to figure out
where I can set her up in my tiny room already containing 2 sewing machines on
tables, a computer and printer, and numerous shelves and tubs holding fabric
and stuff. I also have an old serger
that I just took to a local place to get serviced that will need space once it’s
home. Dummy me, I got there and the guy took
my info and got the serial number off the machine, and then says, “You have the
foot control?” Duh! I’m so glad they aren’t far from home.
So
there was no sewing for me today – I’m sad.
But I did get a couple of things done that I was hoping I would during
my break from school. Tomorrow is
another day.
Aww she looks so cute, and happy with her new sewing machine
