Making your own CSP? Sewing machine help?

Postby mummy_mi » Thu Jan 13, 2011 11:33 pm

Okay so I'm a newbie to being crafty with fabric and things but how hard would it be to make my own CSP?

I actually dont own (or have ever used) a sewing machine, should I stop right there and forget all about it? :cry:

Or is there hope that I could give it and go and pick it up without spending a fortune on a machine?

And any recommendations on easy to use but worthwhile sewing machines that dont cost a bomb?

I think it's probably a non started but thought I'd ask as I seem to have become a bit obsessed with CSP >.<

My DH bought me a machine for CHristmas (not used it yet), it is just one from Argos, had he asked I would have got one of Ems finds but it will be great for getting back into sewing.
I have bought one of Ems csp kids to get me started :wink:

The CSP kits look fab, having everything to hand! Once I knew what I was doing then I'd try others, like in the links.

If I do actually get all this sorted, I'd make a pad for everyday of the year - just because I could!! xx

I would definitely recommend getting a decent sewing machine to make csp. I almost killed mine (and myself) when I tried to make nice looking pads (there were too many layers and the sewing maching revolted, making a disturbing clunk, smelling of burning plastic and snapping the needle and sending it flying...it was not my finest sewing moment) I'm sticking to single layer pads that you fold and slide into a fleece casing from now on.
