Welcome !! 'Tis Friday again and a wonderful Show & Tell hosted by
Today, I am sharing the lovely Singer Sewing Machine I inherited from my Great Grandmother. She was a wonderful seamstress who made many dresses in her lifetime. I am proud to become the family member who will surely treasure it.
When I first started making dolls 13 years ago, this was also the first machine I used. I loved it so much !!! But after selling 100 Angels through bazaars I bought a newer machine, so that I wouldn't ruin my treasure.
It is now lovingly displayed in my studio, for me to enjoy and think about her when I am there.
Thank you for stopping in today. Have a blessed weekend !!!
Oh boy does this age me....I learned on a treadle Singer machine. I love the photograph composition -- you did good.
ReplyDeleteI had one of these feather weight Singers and loved it. My daughter, Suzette, now has it but does not display it.

How lovely! I have my grandmother's sewing machine (electric) and my great-grandmother's sewing machine (treadle). I love the fact that they also enjoyed sewing as much as I do.
ReplyDeleteYour photography is beautiful.
What a treasure! I love the look of the old Singers and to have your Grandma's makes it really special!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful treasure!
ReplyDeleteGrandma taught me to sew, or tried to, on a Singer treadle machine. I had much better luck with it than any of today's modern sewing machines. I wish I had that old machine. Yours is definitely a family treasure.

Well Mica, I am not a home schooler (good news for my son) but I just wanted to tell you I think this is a lovely and sweet blog you have here.
ReplyDeleteYour gradma's machine is a true treasure for you and your daughter I'm sure.
Good thoughts for your day friend,
Becky
There is just such an elegance to those older machines that you can't really find in newer machines anymore. It just seems poetic and artistically inspired.

ReplyDeleteWhat a treasure to have a keepsake of your grandma's, it's beautiful.
What a wonderful heirloom! A treasure in such great photos!
