Here are my tools
Along with my dirty rag, and my nuts
A rusty piston ..
a wheel
Chrome accessories which need to be polished shiny shiny
And the all important badge ...before
... and after
No tinkering would be complete without a manual
And here, in all her glory, is my machine ...
rescued from the shed after nearly 10 years.(I know, don't hate me for it)
There is still much polishing to do!
That is a beautiful piece of machinery!
ReplyDeleteOh wow ... she's wonderful! x
ReplyDeleteLovely, I've got two old Singers, I use one of them to do all my sewing, they are soooooo lovely, mine is called Myrtle. What's your called?

Now that does sound like a fun way to spend your day! Beautiful sewing machine! Lucy x
ReplyDeleteI agree with Gina. Lovely. Just think of all the items that 'she' has made and all the hands that have used her. If only 'she' could speak. I have a hand singer sewing machine that sits on the table. I made my first ball dress on it!
ReplyDeleteHey, at least you held on to her and didn't send her to the dump!
ReplyDeleteThat looks very much like the Singer I grew up with. What a beauty!
ReplyDeleteso lovely! my sewing machine sits on a singer table, the machine had been thrown away (I know, how could anyone) but we rescued the table, and so now I have a mix of old and new..........
ReplyDeleteOh my! What a lovely machine. I must raid my Nana's loft at some point, I think she might have an old Singer tucked away somewhere. I think it was adapted and has a handle now though as the Singer table ended up as my folks garden table ... many a happy hour spent peddling away!
ReplyDeleteWow Julia... !!! That's amazing! I love it love it love it!! wish I had one..
ReplyDeleteohh lovely! i still have my nana's 1968 singer, its a lovely retro cream color!
ReplyDeletei have a man with a dirty rag and rusty nuts most weekends! What great fun having a proper tinker and tarting up your old machine... is she purring yet?
ReplyDeleteThat is beautiful...And she must have a name! My sewing machine's name is Lucy. When you spend so much time sewing, a name comes in handy ;o) Happy Days ((HUGS))
ReplyDeleteOne of my regrets is that I didn't have the foresight to take the singer my mum offered to my years ago. :(
ReplyDeleteThe job is a civilian job with the police, similar line to what I used to do pre-kids.
Oh that's wonderful - can't wait to see what happens when you put some fabric through her!
ReplyDeleteOh my, how fantastic! I can't believe you have had such a beautiful machine hidden in the shed!
ReplyDeleteAnne

ReplyDeleteClare
