Re: What would you love to get into but can't? Why can't you?

I would love to be able to sew but I currently just don't have the patience or the money to invest in a good sewing machine.

Look around! Sometimes you can find mom & pop repair shops that sell good used machines for under $50.

Thanks for the tip, I'll have to check it out once I move out in a few months.

DA

Also Amazon runs killer Deals of the Day on sewing machines once in awhile. That's how I got mine.

Which is still sitting in its box, but dammit that's beside the point.

Yep, I got my machine on Amazon, too. It was a little pricier model, but I've seen good ones in the hundred dollar range.

i've got a pretty basic brother machine for $80 on sale. it's not the best machine out there but it's been able to do everything i've ever needed it to. totally worth the investment.

honestly, what you're really going to end up spending money on is the fabric.

So I saw you said you'd be moving -- when you've settled in afterwards, check out craigslist, yardsales, or if there's a sewing machine repair place near you. Look for an all-metal electric sewing machine from the 50s through to maybe the 80s, I see them for less than $100 all the time, they're fairly simple to operate and usually cheap to repair, and unlike a lot of the plastic beginner machines that cost $80-$400 or so, will outlast you and any kids you might have. To get a comparable machine new you'd be looking at spending thousands. The only drawback is they're heavy, but on the other hand the machine won't vibrate off tables or shift around as you sew. Good luck!

Thanks for the tips! I'm moving probably July/August (the closing date isn't set yet) and I want to see how I settle in to the place before picking up a new hobby.

Mostly I need to finish the various knitting projects that have been neglected in boxes and I'll find when I move out.
