Wanted to buy: sewing machine for a good cause

Recommended Posts

I am about to finish a year of mentoring a young person who has expressed an interest in, and aptitude for, sewing. She doesn't have many interests or hobbies, and her life chances aren't particularly spectacular, so as a parting gift, I'd love to leave her with the wherewithal to nurture this interest - ie a basic sewing machine, and a simple instruction / inspiration book to go alongside.


I'm not really allowed to spend money on gifts, but I thought if I could find a basic second-hand sewing machine for very little, then that wouldn't really count :-)


Does anyone have one they no longer use? It would need to be basic and modern (ie not dissimilar to the one she will have used in Textiles classes at school) and in good working order. I'm ideally looking to pay around ?15, which I know isn't much but would be going to a very good home! Happy to collect!


Thanks in advance!

    • I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him 
    • It was my understanding that Jeremy Corbyn was embarrassed by his brother and had distanced himself from his brother's views. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Why on earth should "the overall view of that family inform Jeremy's response to the pandemic"? What exactly are you basing that assumption on?
    • I guess it's best to do what most Brits do these days, keep your head down and say nothing! although that's probably why this country is in the mess it is today!  😞
