I Hope My Mom’s Sewing Machine Can Make Me a Medieval Costume
I checked with my mom to see if the Brother XL2600i sewing machine that she has would be capable of making me a medieval style costume. After we got the sewing machine for her for her birthday present I told her it would be awesome if she could use it to make me a new costume. She thought that would be a great idea and of course was very happy to try out her new sewing machine to do something like this. I have given a lot of thought as to the type of costume I would like to make and I am coming to the conclusion that a medieval costume would be my first choice. I wanted to see if her sewing machine would be capable of creating a realistic type medieval costume. I was under the impression that some of the material might be a little thicker or heavier and so I wanted to be sure her sewing machine can handle that.

I am a clothing maker, and I have been creating dresses, blouses and accessories for several years. When I first started out, I used to buy my material at the local fabric store; even though it was on the expensive side and I wasn’t making much profit, I felt I didn’t really have an alternative. When I started using the internet, I realized I could buy wholesale fabrics online at much better prices. When I was shopping the local store, I would only buy as much as I needed because I couldn’t afford more; with this new vendor, I buy lots and keep the extra in my storeroom. By having more fabric on hand, I have been able to expand into accessories I never thought of before, such as scarves, mittens and belts. I am now able to create matching sets, and they have been a very big hit with my clients.
