Looks very good Jessie - worth the effort I'd say.

@Greybird    No - I don't buy all the machines I mention, I'm addicted to ebay surfing and I come across unfamiliar machine and want to find out about them (a/k/a "research").  I have just 6 machines: 

1.  Elna Overlocker 744 (slightly faulty) setup and used regularly.
2.  Bernina Cover stitcher setup and used regularly.
3.  Janome Atelier set up and used regularly.
4.  Singer Featherweight 222 (Vintage, Stored)
5.  Bernina Record 930.  The Bernina is not-portable and is currently packed away.
6.  Singer Handcrank 99K (Vintage, Stored)

I did have a smaller lightweight machine which I gave, along with a John Lewis (Janome), to the "Tools with a Mission" charity.
I regret, now, giving away the smaller lightweight machine as I miss having a machine downstairs which is why I'm giving myself an excuse to look for a replacement portable machine.

@b15erk Great Job on the bag Jessie!  Really impressive... are you going to auction it on  ebay afterwards as a "Mary Poppins Replica bag"?  (I bet you'd get a lot of interest.)
The yellow dress is so pretty!
You put me to shame - all I've done this weekend is housework, some decluttering, cooking and surfing ebay (which I'm now addicted to, I frankly admit :o).  Nothing creative, I'm afraid :|.

I've seen a Lotus TSP on ebay for £69.95 but most of the accessories are missing (i.e., no additional feet included).
I'm wondering if its a sensible buy?

That is a really nice shape and I agree, it certainly is helpful to see the pattern actually made up.

Anyone got any suggestions for a lightweight, good stitch quality sewing machine as a portable for classes etc.
  I'm thinking more of best value, rather than an expensive machine.

@Mick   Very nicely done Mick, and it might even spur me on to do my own machine cover (at the moment its draped over with a very old batik print Indian Cotton bedspread! :|

I saw these last night on my way home from work, I didn’t buy but loved the patterns I felt they might be very limp when washed, maybe I should have bought them.

I thought the same @Celia - I think there's a lot of "finish" or starch in them.

It's on at 385 on eBay so it's a bit more than simply an impulse buy so I'm mulling it over  :ninja:
