I have Confidence!!!!(Of the Singer Variety)

I have Confidence of the Singer variety! Here she is here.

With my little pot of redundancy money from my job (and I mean little pot!) I decided that I would only dip into it to buy something that would be useful and helpful and earn it's keep in Coccuveda. So hopefully my new little toy will do just that.

Last November I was on a" Sewing for The terrified" weekend workshop with Sally-Ann Provan from Edinburgh. With her gentle coaxing and encouragement she let me touch her much loved Bernina sewing machine, the first time in about 40 years I had been able to even look at a sewing machine without shaking at the fear that had been instilled in me from a school teacher.

Without breaking Sally's machine I had a very enjoyable time and am very proud of my what I managed to make.

So with a bit of research into machines and a lot of "will I won't I", The Singer Confidence ads spoke to me and reassured me that this was an easy uncomplicated machine for beginners. So I am now the proud owner.

 I am just staring on small things at the moment as that suits me, I want to build up to making bags before long, but  believe slow and steady wins the race.

With my owl key pockets I was brave enough to press the zig zag button, that is good progress in my book! My cutting out and precision skills do need a bit of work but hey one step at a time!

I hope all you expert sewers are not laughing at me!!!
