Purchases of the Week: January 14, 2011

Two years ago I bought what I thought was a basic Singer sewing machine. It was far too complicated for a total sewing noob like me. My mom who sews was able to use it but then we lost a part of the machine and now we can't use it.

I still want to learn how to sew so I researched a bit more thoroughly and picked a machine that had almost all good ratings and raved by both amateur and experienced and is simpler and better suited for a beginner. Plus it's awesomely cute too!

Janome Compact Hello Kitty Sewing Machine - Green version. 

It's arriving tomorrow via UPS. I also have a basic curtain making book with ultra beginner projects. I hope I can use this a lot better than the previous one I bought.
