Description: If you are reading this - Awesome! My first description for this video was beautiful, describing how much a sewing machine will improve your life, you know, fix holes in your socks etc......but some how I deleted it. Bugger! Well, all I can say is the sewing machine and the skills required to use one is one of the most useful machines, skills that a "Maker" can develop. A bit of history; My Grandmother made her Wedding dress and all the Bridesmaids dresses. She made every stitch of clothing her family wore in the early years. How times have changed! I have no where near the skill of my Grandmother, but that's not going to stop me. I love that I can make my own covers, bags, tools rolls, curtains, undies etc! (Please note; I will not be making bags for sale) Additionally I had the privilege of trying out Hawk Tools USA Wax on a few of my bags and tool rolls. Hawk Tools sent me a batch to see what I think (Not a sponsored video btw). I think their products are great and so easy to use. I definitely recommend it. If you are interested, I have their affiliate link below; hawktoolsusa.com/recommends/cornelius-quiring hawktoolsusa.com My sewing machines all bought on the cheap.
