You said, "so I can play while camping" I have to tell you a story. I'll make it short.
So this one particular night, I grabbed a tablecloth, covered the picnic table with it, set up my sewing machine, grabbed my quilt, turned on the music and sat there and sewed out on the picnic table. The one elderly lady says to me "what possessed you to bring your sewing machine camping with you".
You should see the looks I get when I'm sitting at the table quilting on an old hand crank! :)
BTW, that's one of the great joys with hand crank sewing machines, I take them camping all the time and I don't need to run an electrical cord to the picnic table. Oh what fun!
