The industrial ones as bigger (and more expensive) than I have room or budget for, but with some help from Mummy I have bought a semi industrial machine - currently known as Lizzie.
The problem is that there isn't really room in the sewing room for her. Husband has been helping find a solution, including finding two lengths of kitchen work surface to work as a work bench.
I took some evolution photos:
A while ago
Wardrobes taken out, Lizzy in a temporary position, and the computer has moved off the workbench onto a desk, one bookcase moved out
Old workbench and bookcases moved out, one kitchen work surface moved in and balanced on a couple of Ikea storage units
Second work surface liberated from a friend's school skip (thank you Barbara!!!)
Once Lizzie gets moved onto the new workbench (definitely a two man job; she weighs a ton!) and the room is tidied it will be perfect! And just in time for Jackie to come next weekend
So looking forward to meeting Lizzie 😀
ReplyDeleteI've found the same problem with decorating and garden tools and household appliances that they seem to be designed, these days, for light, occasional use. I often think it's better to buy things second hand as they are less disposable! I hope Lizzie lasts a good while and works well for you :)
ReplyDeleteWell she’s a bit of a monster! Should be a good worker though.
