When you think of sewing and sewing machines, you may think about one of your grandparents, stitching up your favourite pair of jeans, or modifying a dress that would never otherwise have fit. Sewing is having somewhat of a resurgence though, alongside other pursuits that promote a certain kind of mindfulness.

Sewing is much like colouring or gardening, in that you have to take a breath, and shut out the world for a period, and that's an amazing thing to do. Sewing is all about switching off, and dialling in to your project, whatever that may be.

The best tech deal this week

Whether you are dress-making, home-furnishing, or repairing a favourite item, the Brother FS40 40-stitch electronic sewing machine is the perfect device to help you along the way. It's also on sale until midnight on March 12. You can pick up the Brother FS40 for £129.99, down from the usual list price of £229.99, if you act now.

The Brother FS40 electronic sewing machine features 40 stitches, and is suitable for both the advanced sewer and the newbie. It's packed full of great features, including a slide speed control, a drop in bobbin with automatic bobbin winder, and automatic stitch selection technology. It also features an LED light, meaning you shouldn't need to replace it, and your threads won't be discoloured by the yellow sheen of a traditional bulb.

Sewing is cool again, and the Brother FS40 is a seriously cool device.
