Oooh I love all the lovely things you have all been making, you are all so talented.

I was saving up to buy a sizzix machine but after seeing the storage cubes on the sewing room no chat thread it has swayed me to buy a sewing machine instead, would love to make some of the items listed in there.

Can anyone recommend a good sewing machine that wont break bank, but would easily be able to do the projects for teh storage boxes and the smaller, fiddlier (is that a word?) projects too?

It would depend on your budget Savvybunny. If you give us an idea of how much you want to spend Im sure that we will be able to give you recommendations.

Hi Savvy
Im so glad you have joined the sewing bug :rotfl: like Pootle said it depends on what budget you have as there are lots of machines to choose from

My OH brought me a new machine for xmas it is this one http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/4600255/Trail/searchtext%3ESEWING+MACHINE.htm

It does everything I want and is a bit better than my 1st one I had
Good luck in choosing one

Thank you PootleFlump and Hart, to be honest I have no idea how much it costs for a sewing machine, I expect around the £150 mark but I think it is worth investing in a good quality machine that will last long and has the capabilities of doing more than say a cheapy one would but I haven't a clue at the difference between them I am a complete novice!

I remember when I was around 11 I borrowed my mums so I could make some hairbands and I really enjoyed it. I'm dying to get all arts and crafty figure hubby would be less annoyed at a sewing machine than a die cutter.

I have a janome which I love! Mine's a specialisy quilting one with 60+ stitches (I only ever use 1!!) so cost a few hundred quid but will last a lifetime...got mine online and didnt have any problems; john lewis can be really helpful when getting a machine and they'll explain it all to you!
