This little sewing maching was one of my favourite Christmas gifts, ever! That would explain how it's survived for going-on thirty-nine years and over a dozen moves. My other was an Easy-Bake oven, but I lost that when Mom & Dad broke up and dad gave away our toys out of spite.
But I digress. I'm sure this little sewing maching would work if I installed batteries, and maybe I should because Bill is going to need a few pairs of pants hemmed, lol.
Here's a Christmas joke:
"Santa, have you lost weight?" "Mrs Claus is looking exceptionally pretty today." "Your toys look wonderful this year."
- Rudolph's cousin, Larry the Brown-Nosed Reindeer
How wonderful that you've managed to keep your little sewing machine Kate. Lol to the joke.
ReplyDeleteI knew a few people that must be related to Larry there :)
ReplyDeleteHow cool that you got something like that! My mom taught me how to crochet when I was little but I have no idea how I learned because all I remember is, "Not like that! Like this!" Then a flurry of fingers, yarn, and the needle! That was the first and last thing my mom attempted to teach me and my sisters - she knew why she wasn't a teacher :)
That is so cute - I still have my sewing machine circa 1970 something. I was too old to get an Easy Bake - so I loved babysitting the younger girls and playing with it (I was 13 - don't judge LOL)
ReplyDeleteI remember my mother still using an old (even for the time) hand-operated sewing machine for many years before my dad got her an electric one, probably sometime in the early 80s. Sadly we junked it in the last house move: it was one of those old black cast iron things with decorative scrollwork painted on. I even had a go with it myself a few times as a child.
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing you still have that sewing machine! I know that through all of our moves I've lost most of the stuff from yesteryear!
