I also love the Teaching Company. I am a sewer, I have a small sewing business, all my very own (yes I am proud!) so I spend long hours alone with my sewing machine. I listen to podcasts a lot and I have a few teaching company lectures. I wish I had more, but I have to wait for B’days and Christmas.
For people new to The Teaching Company….make a note of the courses you want and wait for them to come on special. They will in time. Also they send a free lecture every now and again.
Talking of sewing, as well as my industrial machines, both over 30 years old from the days when people actually could make machines, I have an old Singer 201 treadle, that can be used without power. My great-grandmother taught me to treadle, but it’s not hard. If you get a person powered sewing machine try for a 201. It’s not pretty like the early singers but it is their best machine ever. It was the last precision engineered one. Most Unfortunatley are electric but they made a few treadles for the ‘colonies’. So they are around. And jolly useful if/when the power goes out.
Katie,
That’s good advice; waiting for Teaching Company courses to go in sale.
Sewing sounds interesting. It must be relaxing yet satisfying to see the results of your efforts. My sister is a quilter and she absolutely loves her hobby.
And, you’re right about a manual treadle working even when the power’s out. Certainly something to consider for survival preparation.
