Wow... I was rummaging through an old box in the basement and found an old leather pouch of my mothers. I dumped it out and look what was in there!
They must be from the old Kenmore machine that I learned to sew on! They are so different looking! It was from my mother's machine, and she gave it to me years ago. I used it a bit, but then through nearly a decade of university, it became my favorite end table.
That's it! Time to open her up...
ew... so dusty! After a bit of elbow grease it's manageable. I can't imagine what the inside looks like. My mom was not a seamstress. She made curtains on this, and sewed sheets in half to stuff with chicken feathers for our bed covers. I don't think any of those nifty feet were ever used. Check this out!
This is a nifty feature...
AAH! Look at the backside!! The giant light is mounted onto the machine, and the big motor is external. The wheel is a huge crank and all the rubber parts are dry and cracking. I wonder if I can ever replace these belts? Someone obviously did, as the say "Singer" on them.
She's pretty isn't she?
Thanks for lookin'! Now I need to go check out those presser feet! neat-o.
