Hi everyone! I'm Debbie and I live in Hampshire with my husband and 2 young girls (5 and 8). I'm quite new to sewing and I'm about to borrow my Mums old machine, so I'm excited to get learning. I've been using a mini machine and it struggles with projects. I love crochet and also eager to learn cross stitch and embroidery. I just like anything crafty! I've recently been made redundant so I'm taking a little time out to explore my hobbies more.

Oh my goodness I am with you! Most of the things I sew are part of work... as soon as I'm home it's all about dinner, bath time, bedtime and then I'm too tired to do anything more than sit on the sofa! 

Are you able to leave your sewing machine set up so you can sew a little bit here and there?

I managed it!! After Mia went to bed last night I got this cute Lounge Sweatshirt from Brindle and Twigg made. Would be a super quick make usually but the sequins and lining the sleeves slowed things down a bit

Jaicee,

there is never enough time to make everything on my plans list.

I have two part time jobs and look after my granddaughter 3 days a week, so time and energy get depleted quickly.

A big lottery win and retirement are needed in my life so I can just sew.

Oh yes. I was spoilt rotten with an Overlocker. I also got in my pressie pile some really pretty fabric weights and some tweezers to help thread the overlocker! My husband was thrilled with my reaction xxx

My lovely husband bought me a circa 1905 Bradbury's Soeze for Christmas, it's beautiful!

I've got my eye on a Bernina to upgrade from my Pfaff Passport, but trying to work out which one, so any recommendations welcome.
