Hi all

I just would like to know if anyone has experience with the lidl sewing machine? It looks basic but im not after anything more than straight,zigzag,hem stitch at the moment. My machine is a second hand old fif nm800 which is does have loads of stitches and works ok but is having tension issues

Hi all... well I have not started on the bike seat yet... baby steps and all that.
Anyway I successfully made a 2 meter bolster for the top of my sofa and a v shape pillow for the gf.. basically copied my shop bought one.. came out quite well. I still have to learn stuffing better I always seem to put in way to much.


Anyway I went off on one a bit there appoligies.
I wanna now make a bean bag and. The below link seams to be nice and simple although I will add a liner

this would be for my 7 year old girl so I still have to source some suitable unicorn fabric but looks pretty sinples to me.

Does anyone have any other bean bag plans ? Just incase there's a better version out there.

Thanks all and merry xmas

So im here..... never thought I would be looking at sewing as a hobby. Im 45 go to gym ride a motobike do all my own mechanics/electrical work
Anyway story goes I needed to shorten my daughters curtains and I thought well I could get a second hand machine and do it for the price of someone doing it for me ...... so I did. Whilst they probably arnt as neet as Id like they are the same length and have a rolled 4inch hem with hemmin stitch.   
As that went so well now I have an itch that needs a scratch so im doing sofa cushions next.  Im hoping to get a few tips from here .
