  • Shai Coggins says
    momblogger Well, not so sure. It's been years since I last used a sewing machine. I don't remember a thing! But, hopefully, it's easy to
  • Shai Coggins says
    understand this one. A few people told me just to go get a machine - if I really want to learn. That way, I have the impetus to use it.
  • Shai Coggins says
    charlierobinson Wow. Sounds like fun. Do you remember the name of the place? Is it still there? So cool that you can sew!

  • Shai Coggins says
    Crizzy Aww... that's a shame. At least you can easily pick it up. Here's sending some good sewing machine vibes your way... :-D
  • Shai Coggins says
    charlierobinson That's too bad. :-( I am on the lookout for a good sewing class nearby. Crossing my fingers. Do your daughters sew?
  • Shai Coggins says

  • Crizzy says
    hehe thanx!! I'm going to get one soon!!...once my bank balance recovers from the dentist's wrath!! lol
  • Shai Coggins says
    good, quick overview. But, not enough for me to get going, I think.
  • Shai Coggins says
    But yes, the idea is to start small. No plans of starting any overly ambitious projects. Just simple tote bags, pillowcases, cushion
  • Shai Coggins says
    covers & such to start with, I think. At this time, I'm happy to be able to finish ANY project at all. :-D
  • Shai Coggins says
    Crizzy Yikes at the dentist. :-( Yes, those things hit the bank balance real bad.
  • Hope says
    Congrats! I know nothing about sewing machines. My sis, on the other hand owns an heirloom sewing shop (online)
  • Crizzy says
    hehehe yeah, wisdom's went bye bye with some moneys, but I'm doing good! And one thing I loved sewing was cushions!! I made a love heart 1
  • Shai Coggins says
    HopeWilbanks Thanks. I know nothing about them too. :-D And wow - your sis must definitely be in to sewing. ;-) Cool.
  • Shai Coggins says
    Crizzy Ouch on the wisdom teeth. Mine went a few years ago too. Cushions, huh? I definitely am looking forward to trying some projects.
  • Crizzy says
    cushions and heat mats, t-shirts, trousers, costumes ... ooooh a whole new creative world for you to venture into!! Have heaps of fun :-D
  • Shai Coggins says
    Crizzy Definitely exciting. But, I gotta remind myself to take it slow & easy. :-D
  • Crizzy says
    hehehe of course!! I sometimes take it too fast, get completely in over my head, then never finish!! lol
  • Shai Coggins says
    Crizzy I do that too sometimes. (s_LOL) It can definitely happen. BTW, you're in Adelaide too - will you join our next Meet-up?
  • Crizzy says
    sure! It would be fun :-D
  • Shai Coggins says
    Yay, Crizzy ! That'll be great. The group's really very friendly & all. Will keep you posted.
  • Crizzy hopes
    so! It would be nice to hang out with friendly plurkers :-D
  • Em_Dy says

  • ＊クレア＊ says
    oh wow! that's great! i am still sewing stuff by hand. it's not easy :'-( but it's been ages since i was taught how to use a sewing machine
  • ElizabethPW says
    I bought one a few years ago and then realized that I don't like to sew. so gave it to charity. ;-)
  • Monnie
    I'd love to sew! I always comment on how it would be another awesome thing to learn (along with all the arty stuff I already do!) :-)
  • marjorie says
    Brother makes a sewing machine? How cool! I'm the new owner of a Brother multifunction printer/fax/copier/scanner.
  • marjorie says
    We should have meetings.
  • marjorie says
    Anyway, I can't wait to hear what you'er going to do with ti.
  • marjorie says
    it, I mean.
  •  Sasha says
    oh, wow. you're going to start sewing now? whoa. (woot)
  • Shai Coggins says
    Em_Dy Not sure... Probably will be a while before I can start selling my projects. :-D Unless I call them "outsider art" . :-D
  • Shai Coggins says
    eclair No, not easy. I occasionally sew stuff by hand too. That's why I've been wanting a machine for a while now.
  • Shai Coggins says
    eclair Hope you get the chance to get one for yourself too. Especially if you love to sew!
  • Shai Coggins says
    elizabethpw Eeeps! At least the machine went to a good place. :-) I'm hoping to grow old w/mine. :-D
  • Shai Coggins says
    monnie I think that's the thing. Once you're in to one of the arts/crafts, you end up interested in so many other things. Other than sewing
  • Shai Coggins says
    usual projects (clothes, cushions, etc), I thought it'll be cool to make soft toys & start sewing on my artwork too (mixed media).
  • Shai Coggins says
    J_o I don't know how to use one too. Planning to teach myself + get some informal lessons, etc.
  • Shai Coggins says
    karirohl And yes, go go go Gocco! They're soooo yummy. (I'm a bad influence with these things! :-D)
