My New Sewing Machine!!!

I'm sooooo excited with my newly bought sewing machine!
I finally have my own. (I was using my mum's before)


I bought Singer Confidence 7465.
It has 50 stitches with 2 one-step buttonholes. I'm so thrilled with the one-step buttonhole function. I hate the 4-step i used before.

I'm a loyal Singer user since learning to sew bout 10 years ago. Both my mum and mum-in-law is also a Singer fan. Never use any other brand before. Not only because i'm not interested to learn a new machine, but i also dont have any choice. Singer is the only sewing machine supplier & center I have locally. Easier for service and repair if needed in the future.

Thanks to my lovely awesome sewing-blogger-FB friends, Evyline & Ayuni, both who also Singer user. Thanks for your consultation before i made my decision to buy last weekend. I decide to have the same sewing machine like Evyline's. Fits my budget and needs :)


Another awesome function: Automatic Needle Threader. Perfect for myopia girl like me.

Some accessories included.

I have so much in my to-sew list. I cant wait to use this new baby. I wish i can be as productive as Marisa, a very awesome sewist, who can refashion anything she want. I also wish i have awesome flea market like that here. Last but not least, Happy National Day to all Malaysian. Enjoy your holiday! I'm sure i'll enjoy mine.... with sewing!! Bye!!

Hiya!! I've been following your blog silently for a while now, having come across you blog via Cath J sewing blog. I've always admired your work and think that I would love to brave sewing my own outfit one day. I'm very new to the world of sewing and have been hooked since I started not too long ago. I can only make clothes for my little girl. I can imagine the feeling of owing a new sewing machine because I was promised one by the husabnd too. If it ever happens! Lol! Anyway, good luck and let us know how you get on with the new machine. Must be really fun!!!! Can't wait to see your new project.

Hope you like it. I've just traded my Singer (which I did not love) for a Janome. No comparison. PS My Singer was not the same model.
