*old faithful*
;0)
she might be old...and well used {not to mention a rather dodgy shade of my least favourite colour}...but she is strong and true...and hasn't let me down yet!
i feel a bit more of that favourite skirt taking new form today...and a new hem on my the duvet cover i made to take to Uni...too many years ago to mention!! lol
right...can't stop...i'm off to hop by your place now...and see what's on your workdesk...the whole lot can be found here if you'd like to join me :0)
If it works, don't fix it as they say. Great machine !!
ReplyDeleteDon't make sewing machines like they used to. I've got 2 old one and a modern one. Much prefer the old two. One belong to my Nan and is over 50 years old, the other is about 30 years and an old industrial Singer, absolutely huge but oh so good.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your day Hugs Can x
Great workspace. Looks a bit like my old, but very faithful machine! and if it ain't broke, don't fix it! S x
ReplyDeleteLovely old machine! The older one always work so much better x
ReplyDeleteLove the large work area on the machine. A lot of old machines are much sturdier than the new ones. My machine is out this week (well it's nearly always out, but not on show!)

oh love the machine,hugs cheryl xxxx
ReplyDeleteOoooh, another sewing machine, I have seen quite a few today and I'm feeling very jealous!!!! So it really doesn't matter that it's old, if it does the job and you love it....who cares!!!

Great little machine - I used to work with them in school and college - very reliable. Hope the sewing goes well.
ReplyDeleteI was going to say "if it ain't broke" but others have beaten me to it! Think of her as a trusty, faithful friend (like me!) rather than a flighty piece of stuff who hasn't been around long ....
ReplyDeleteNothing wrong with old and reliable :-) Happy sewing.

Hi Alix
ReplyDeletegreat machine use to have them at school, work hard n they never broke, have good day, sue,x
Lok at that great big working plate - how fab. I'm with Sid. You will show us some more skirt related projects, huh huh huh?
ReplyDeletenow thats a sturdy looking machine. I know what you mean about the colour though, why does stuff go that weird yellow shade. I hope you and she have many more years together. I shall be stalking the postie this week lol
ReplyDeleteIf it works, age doesn't matter.
ReplyDeleteWOW !That brings back some memores (2002) The had them at school when I was doing textiles, what I wouldn't give for one, they are almost indistructible!
ReplyDeleteThey always say the old ones work best...maybe there is hope for me after all lol :0)
ReplyDelete*hugs* Heather x

Oh, I thought your post title was talking about me for a minute there LOL!
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a real 'golden oldie'.
My mum had a treadle singer for years and years, she pulled it to bits in the end and took it down the dump, never even asked me if I wanted it! Mind you, at the time I had nowhere to put it, and I can't sew for toffee!

Ooo...what a lovely machine Alix. It's...ermm...vintage in colour and looks like it has served a good few years.*Ü* TFS. ~Glen~
