Whew!! I did not waste this Toddlerless Tuesday AT ALL!!! A friend of mine came over to help, and we sorted through a table full of donated fabric, cutting and folding and sorting by color and boxing by cut. Here's what we started with:
Scary, isn't it?? To see what we ended up with, tune in to Stash Manicure this Friday - I'll be guest blogging there and I'll have finished pics and some information about what we did in detail.
And Now, Tuesday's Treasures...
Isn't she lovely? I named her Sweet Charity because she's a grand old lady, deserving of a lovely old-fashioned name, and my daughter found her at a yard sale raising money for a friend's Ethiopian adoption.
Look at the detailing on this baby! There's more on the back, too, similar to this. And there's a small box built into the side of the case that had six (yes, six!) original attachments for the machine, and a user's manual! It even came with the wooden hood/cover for the machine - I guess this was one of Singer's first "portable" sewing machines! I took it in to the shop, where they put a new belt on it, did a tune-up and check up and gave it back to me good as new!
And finally, a couple of giveaways.....
If you've been out there in blogland at all, you've probably seen the AccuQuilt Go! Cutter being demo'd on lots of blogs! Well, two (that I know of!) are currently doing a giveaway - so go check them out!
Karrie Lyne at Freckled Whimsy has one to give away....
And so does Heather at A La Mode Fabric!!
So even though it makes the odds higher, be sure to go check out these giveaways!!!
Later!

ReplyDeleteThanks very much for introducing us and playing along .
The Singer Sewing machine is very beautiful - not too different from the one I learnt to sew on!! Hugz
ReplyDeleteshe is a beautiful old lady!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful daughter to get you this beauty.
I read your post over at Stash Manicure and I am going to have some fabric to give up. You know you want to keep it but you just have to give some up. I see you're in Tenessee or at least I think that's right. Where in Tenessee are you? You can reach me at bevwalks@aol.com
ReplyDeleteBeautiful machine!
ReplyDeletei am in love with your sewing machine!!!! i have one like it but it has a shuttle instead of a bobbin and i can not figure out how to work it.
ReplyDeleteand i promise i have not forgotten about you and the fabric i have to send....i just have not had a chance this week to get to the post office....lots of doctors appointments. forgive me? i will try my hardest to get there tomorrow.
I love your machine, I have a similar one but it has a knee control (there is a hole in the case for the simple metal rod to fit in to run the machine)
