I have NEVER owned a sewing machine and when I needed one ( school projects ) used my great grandmother's. Somewhere along the line, I think when I went off to boarding school, my mother disposed of it somehow. *shrugs*

When my kiddo was 8 or nine, my kiddo only wanted to be Yoda, for Halloween. Nobody, but NOBODY, anywhere, was selling such a costume or even a pattern, so I just stepped up and made one, by hand. LOL...I still have it and wish that the kiddo had taken it, at some point ( instead of being happy to leave it here, hanging in one of the guest room closets ), because my grandson played Yoda, in a skit at camp, last summer. :-)

If you can do that by hand, imagine what you could do with all the tools.
