Sound choice and they are quite portable and they have very little to go wrong. For small artisanal work or repair jobs they are great. Something like a Singer 128 (or the full size 127) would be perfect for you. 99s are cheaper but they have less functionality being much older.
However, if something does go wrong with it; sewing machine repair shops are like bicycle repair or Mercedes-Benz dealerships…. every country has one.
yes I found a lot of repair shops here, not too worrying.
I really admire how some Turkish ladies can make so many things, from cooking, cleaning, knitting to sewing, but it is NEVER too late to learn! especially if I would be someone's mum one day, better to pick up these skills slowly I think. 🤔

You need some foundations; patience, inquisitive nature and desire to learn. I thank my mother for that. Hand eye coordination helps from doing similar things. But I’m an old guy still learning skills and languages…. so never too old to learn.
