Meet my new friend - SINGER HD4423

Hello,

It's finally here!! I got it on Tuesday last week!! It's Singer HD 4423. I was thinking of buying the industrial machine but I don't have space right now.


I've been considering this machine for quite some time and even though my other machines are doing OK, but I need a tougher machine to sew bags and wallet.
I won't be writing a long technical review here, but if you want to read the review you can go HERE or watch it on YouTube.



So far, I LOVE it!! Especially when sewing the passport holders, it can handle thickness changes with no hick up at all. And with the High Speed, I can sew much faster without dealing with a jammed needle.
The SINGER HD4423 also has top loading bobbin, which is convenient


 I'm yet to try on faux leather or another project as yet. I will update you again when I do.
It has 23 stitch variations (hence the name). Also, you can adjust the needle position to the right and to the left. 

The free arm is an advantage too. If you see the extended table, that was from my Bernette machine LOL. Have to make do with what I have, right? 


If you're looking for beginner heavy duty sewing machine, you might want to consider this machine. It's practical and economical!
Let me know what you think!

Until then,

Say it through your wallet...

a handmade fabric wallet that is ^v^

I have this cute fabric lying in my cupboard for over a year now. I bought it through a friend who lives in the US of A. We have this chat group on Whatsapp where we shares ideas, jokes and our fabric loot. But the shipping from US is killing me, but then there's nothing like a good investment (said a fabric hoaders of course). Ha!

Anyway, I bought few pattern of wallet and reading numerous blog post and finally settle for this simple wallet. I wanted something sturdy but light, compact, fit in my notes and few coins. And which will fit in into my purse. 


Hmm...I'm using my old leather wallet as a benchmark for sizing. I made a little bigger and wider version, since Indian currency notes are quite long.

look at the outer fabric! I love love it!

I used two grommets snap buttons. Psst, it's not that hard to attach these buttons. 


Since I don't like to waste fabric, I make wrist strap from the remaining binding fabric. 

Well, I still have a little more of the fabric, enough for 2 wallets. Just go to my ETSY shop and grab it fast.


Until then,

Happy Sewing
