Hands up who’s still sewing by hand. Really, that many of you? Well, I’m sure it can be a thoroughly rewarding experience to make things with your own hands, but this is the twenty-first century, and sewing machines really save a lot of time. Mind you, there’s nothing to say you can’t enjoy both.
It may not have the hands on feel of a hand-sewn creation, but anything made with a sewing machine will be more accurately produced and feature designs of an intricacy impossible to match with your hands. You can even cross-stitch by machine! (this was news to us, but there are instructions on how to do so in the Spring 2012 issue)
It almost goes without saying that sewing machines themselves can be works of art. We reckon there’s a fair few people out there whose parents owned a Singer sewing machine, one of the gorgeous black and gold-engraved devices powered either by pedal or by a rotary hand wheel. The simple noise of it in action is a nostalgia trip in itself, and it could produce astonishing works of creativity. Who knows, maybe someday in the distant future your great-grandchildren might feel the same about your currently high tech, computer powered sewing machine? NB
