WOOOW ! You've got the skills. The bag looks pretty cute. It is one of my desires and interests to sew. I hope to buy a sewing machine for myself. Ours is old and already broken.

Hi there! Yes, you can buy a new sewing machine if it's beyond repair. To have is a necessity especially if you have kids and you don't need to go to the shop for simple repairs. Actually, the old sewing machines are more durable compared to the new products. My sewing machine is still in good condition to date. Hubby brought this Brother sewing when the kids were still in their elementary grade and now they have already a family of their own.
See that. It looked worn out because I changed its color into brown and it's not a steel paint. Lol so it started to peel off. Anyways, it is a tough one. I guess I've already made millions since I got this doing all stuffs just to let both ends meet especially when hubby was on standby while awaiting for his next ship. I've made bags, school uniforms, curtains & drapes, gowns, band uniforms (package deals), etc. From the office, I sit on my sewing machine to receive orders like wallets and bags. Being self sufficient and not only relying on hubby's is a crown on my head.
Recycling is my forte too. Try it!
woww! that's one old bur gold. It's a vintage. There is a lot of history and memories about your sewing machine. It made lots for clothes. What a legend!
I agree with you. Wives must find ways to earn to help the family. Marriage is a team. I am a recycling person as well. I don't like wasting.
We have singer sewing machine before. I used it many times but my father gave it to his friend who owns a tailor shop. I also borrowed from my cousin which she isn't using anymore but i already returned it. I will definitely buy one soon.
There's nothing impossible if you're into it. I liked needlework since I was a kid you know then I was more inclined in sewing when we had sewing in our Home Economics subject in Grades 5 & 6 in elementary. The rest is history.
Ohh, sewing is really your talent. Yeah, Home Economics using manila paper and first cloth we sewed was an apron.
