Sewers?
OFF TOPIC discussions
I love your enthusiasm ("But oh my gosh, I bet it would be fun.") and it sounds like you've got a lot of great ideas and ways to be really creative with this--plus a really nice machine!
I started sewing at a very early age (made my first dress at age 6) and have found sewing projects to be more frustrating than fun. I love the creativity and the planning stages--and buying the supplies--but things fail in the execution.
I love the idea of culling materials from thrift shops, Goodwill, etc. There are things I have kept because I could use the material from it to make something...but it seems like those projects never get done. You can also get upholstery scraps from places that remake furniture as well as places that make upholstered seats, etc., for RV's and boats.
You may also want to think about making music stands.
I know some people like pick bags to be small, but I like one that is about 5 x 8 so I can also have room for tuners and capos and extra strings--and the string winder!
