I thought it would be a good idea to show my sewing machine set up, so you can see what I use.
I dabble in all sorts of crafts but for some reason sewing seemed to have passed me by, having never really done textiles at school. So five years ago I decided to take the plunge and buy my first sewing machine, it was a tad scary at the time but I haven’t looked back!
So here it is, my machine is a Singer Simple 3232. I’m not going to lie, the fact it had lilac on it did draw me to it (typical girly way of choosing I know!).
It’s very easy to use and cost me around £150. There are some great machines that are cheaper than this one (around £80-£100), but at the time I decided to spend a little extra and go for a machine that I could “grow” into, rather than something too basic.
This is the perfect sewing machine for beginners. It does everything that I need it to – straight stitch, zig zag, button holes and comes with a zipper foot – and that is really all you need to get going. Singer is a trusted brand and I loved that I could purchase the extra feet and accessories in my local craft shop.
It may not be all singing and dancing, but for anyone just starting out with sewing there is no need to spend a fortune. Keep it simple and honestly you cannot go wrong.
I've never had any problems with this machine and I'm sure one day I'll upgrade to something more snazzy!
