The color green is so beautiful. I had my grandmother's old Singer machine for years--one of the antique-y-looking black ones that you carried in a wooden dome--and its attachments worked just fine. Good luck!
If nothing else, this is a piece of history and I bet it would be cool just to have it on display!! But, knowing you, I'm sure you'll be using it to work on some of your pieces ASAP :)
Oooh I didn't even know such a thing existed! I have an old Singer (1930s I think?) that I have yet to use (see previous comment about cushions!) but if this little baby could work with it, me and my Singer might just have a beautiful future together!
Form/Function. Line/Curve. Safe/Risk. Art/Craft. Body/Mind.
Fashion intersects these. It's how we express what is popular in what is personal. It's where intellect debates sex; where soft and hard duke it out. So much mystery underpins beautiful things. So much confidence rests upon them. Discuss.
Looks far to technical for me - good luck!
ReplyDeleteIt looks old timey and yet the concept is mind-blowingly high-tech. Good luck!

ReplyDeleteI have the exact same buttonholer! It's really simple and works great!!!
ReplyDeleteFab: Those 50s women were good with the new tech :-)
ReplyDeleteBel: It's practically steam punk.
Miss C: I think this is the next generation after the black one. Did yours have a pedal?
Stacy: It is an amazing piece. But I want this baby to function. I'm too practical to use it as art :-)
Debi: I LOVE to hear this. If I have issues, you're the one I"m going to call.
I mean, that is just the coolest ever. I use a sewing machine from the 60's ...it's a Singer and it's the best. It's also my mom's ;)
ReplyDeleteM: Is yours only a straight stitch?
