About 20 years ago I was a music teacher (an emergency situation) and needed to practice constantly. I'm not that good of a piano player. I plugged my keyboard, (not a small one) into the cigarette lighter and played away while my husband drove.
I have done knitting in the dark. Elizabeth Zimmerman says just look out the window and put your needle into the stitch. You can feel it. Then do the next one. She used to read a book while she knitted.
I think a sewing machine in the car is very doable. It will plug into the cigarette lighter, but it probably should be strapped down as someone else suggested: it could become a flying object in an accident. And a surface to set it onto would be a necessity also. I would use my Featherweight or the small Janome, (which is on sale this week, and I am going to buy). I can't wait to try this. Jeannie from Oregon has some good ideas. (jcrow; post no. 20)
