A frugal person and a sewing machine

Recently I made the move to a house which is situated not so far from Ronda. I love it because at the moment the house has everything I need.

Whilst moving in I discovered a cabinet in the house and thought it was another storage area where I could stuff things into. Well you should of seen my face when I opened the cupboard door, it was an Antique sewing machine.

I was so excited the machine looked perfect and when I spoke to the owners they had no issue with me using it. Well I was stoked I have a sewing machine to use, and best of all it doesn't need electricity.

Cool, back to the old days of peddle power and burning calories. Being frugal is certainly paying off, and now I don't have to worry about how much electricity it's sucking up.

I love this little machine it's a real pity that it didn't come with extra bits and pieces to be able to sew zig zag and make button holes. Oh well at the moment I am quite happy sewing straight stitch and making double seams.

If you're like me and enjoy sewing and would like to become more self sufficient I would recommend paying the money in reason for an Antique Sewing machine and the extra bits and pieces.

Relying on electricity here in Spain is proving to be a little uncertain with constant power cuts that can sometimes last up to 6 hours. This is why having an Antique Sewing machine gives me the freedom to sew. At night this could pose a problem but I am sure I can buy a solar powered LED lamp that will emit enough light.
