For a first attempt at using a sewing machine, I'll take it!

I think I'm getting into this visible mending trend!

Any recommendations for a beginner when it comes to electric sewing machines? Where's the best place to buy one?

Thanks so much in advance.

Also today, tried to get some product shots but my backdrop was misbehaving and I lost the light, so I'm gonna be trying that again tomorrow. However, figured I'd throw a couple up here, because I dunno, it's fun to post pics, even when they're terrible.

Here are a couple of the floaty summer tops I've been making and when I can get some decent pics I'll be putting them on my felt shop.

I finally finished the polar fleece dressing down for the 7yo.

It's a bit on the big side but looks pretty snuggly

Where would you recommend I get a pattern for 7yo boys shorts ( cotton) ?

Please and thank you

I'm repairing a pair of pants for my friend. I've also taken the pants up and extended one pocket (I don't want to do the other one, but this pocket is now big enough for his phone)
There are patches in the crotch both front and back to put it back together.

I still have bit to do on this but it's coming togey. I've also taken up the hem on the legs as they were too long.
I'm doin this on and off when I'm well enough to do so. #handsewing #sewing #chronicillness #clothingrepairs #sustainability #friendshelpingfriends #aotearoanz #nzsewists #sewingnz #sustainablefashion #sewingwhiledisabled
