Tinker Tailor


Actually, not so tinker after all. This real Singer sewing machine is fully operational, so you can put your kid to work, hemming pants and fixing all your separated seams.

The kiddie labor idea aside, this machine really is the bomb. It's small, but it boasts a real foot pedal with backward/forward powers. All the specifics, from bobbins (do they even have those in sewing machines anymore) to needles is just like the big models. Plus, it comes with pre-cut fabrics for very easy, rewarding projects. They call it the "fashion center," but I call it a great solution for rainy days.

True, all this utility doesn't come cheap. The whole thing is about eighty dollars. But you could use it in an emergency, too. Find it at www.youngexplorers.com. And get ready to start buying those Vogue patterns.
