Hello from Hartlepool. I currently own several sewing machines. :sew: including my 2 antique treasures. :vintage:
I also like to handsew & embroider/cross stitch  :thread:
I'm mostly housebound due to chronic health conditions.
I currently have 7  :meow: ( 6 of whom are rescues & one mad Ragdoll). We also have a  :woof: Jack Russell/ Shi Tzu Cross who goes to work with hubby.
Sewing is in my blood,my great aunt was a tailoress & most of my family were seamstresses & dressmakers, etc. as far back as I know. My daughter also sews & upcycles clothes.
I'm currently researching my vintage Singer attachments & looking at which other ones are available,and spending far too long on YouTube watching Bernadette Banner etc.

Hello and welcome from me (incredibly jealous of your number of cats and writing this with one of my two perched on my shoulders  :laughing: )

As it neared the top of the grade, it went more slowly. However, it still kept saying, "I—think—I—can, I—think—I—can." It reached the top by drawing on bravery and then went on down the grade, congratulating itself by saying, "I thought I could,  I thought I could."

Hello and welcome @Fenella

I only have 2 cats so love that you’ve got 7. One for every day of the week, lucky you!

Looking forward to hearing more about your sewing, machines and moggies.  :thumb:

Hi Fenella

No cats now, we lost our ginger moggie in September but we have two dogs.  I'm only along the road in sunny Seaton
