A strange request... sewing machine?

So I bought a bunch of polyester felt to make some DIY filter socks out of. Doing it this way I can make about 20-25 socks for the price of one. I am even considering just making a boatload and either tossing them, or chucking them in a garbage pail with a lid (so they don't stink) and then just chucking all of that in the washer once they get dirty. I figure I would be swapping out twice a week or so.
What I need is a sewing machine! Does anyone have one I can borrow? I can probably just pump out all the socks I need over a weekend and be done with it. For half a second I was considering buying a machine, but I can't REALLY think of anything I would use one for aside from this. At that point, it sort of becomes a waste! Hoping someone in the DSM/Ames area has one I can borrow for a bit!

 

That's a generous offer, but I suspect it will be cost prohibitive to do it that way. I am wanting to make a couple dozen of these things, plus add a small circle of 4" PVC to the top to give it a solid rim in order to easily place it in a sock holder. I imagine just shipping this stuff back and forth would cost $10-15 each way. At that rate I can just get a cheapo machine or check out the goodwill /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default//emoticons/wink.gif
Thanks for the kind offer though!

 

It's the thought that counts! So nice of you to offer! If I ever need some pro sewing done I will think of you first! /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default/emoticons/wink.gif

 

That would be awesome. Are you in Des Moines? We are out there at least twice a month, generally on a weekend, so it would be no sweat dropping it back off. I expect to just crank out a bunch of these and be done with it completely in a couple hours. /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default/emoticons/smile.gif

 

I had never even heard of freecycle until now. Will try that if I am unable to borrow Shaun's.

 

Looks like shaun's got me covered. Thanks all!
