Hello from West Wales!
« on: July 17, 2020, 10:55:01 AM »
Hello! I’m new here, I’m from West Wales. I taught myself to sew when my children were toddler. They are 13 & 12 now.
I’d like to make more of our clothes, to try and be more sustainable. I’ve just got my overlocker threaded, which had been in the attic for years. I hadnt used it at all so am getting to know that! Mostly I use old Singer or Jones hand crank machines.

Great machines, built to last. We forget that at the time, these machines were very expensive. Plenty of us here are suckers for these vintage beauties.

Hello from mid (very) west Wales.

If you've threaded up your overlocker you're pretty much there!

I might look as though I'm talking to you, but inside my head I'm sewing.
