I had an older one that my mom got me off of Ebay that was the same model Singer she had bought years before since she had always liked it. I had messed around on it a little in the past, but recently I decided I wanted to start sewing skirts and things. Well, the old sewing machine didn't hold up too well, as it stopped working correctly a few hours into my first project. So I went with the well-reviewed and inexpensive Singer Simple(also recommended by Martha Steward, if you still needed a clincher...haha).
I can't say too much about it yet, as the farthest I've gotten has been threading it and beginning to try to figure out how to use the automatic needle-threader. I have a pattern for a simple A-line skirt I'm going to make. I started making it from a sheet for practice, but it was too small and I'm going to have to go up a size. I've had this nice blue fabric lying around just waiting to be made into a summer skirt!
I have to fit sewing time in-between studying time, work time, etc., but I'll be sure to post pictures when it's finished!
