For a change of pace

I thought about buying parts for the Singer I had, to turn it into a hand crank. (To be honest, I’m pretty sure it was originally a hand crank. It has hinges instead of hinge pins, which usually means it was in a base, not a treadle.) Then I ran across a Singer with a decal set I couldn’t really find. Next thing you know, I’m watching it move cross country via Fed Ex. The seller, jwinktreasures5, from Ebay did an excellent job of packing it and it made it safely here today. I think this will be fun. I plan to make a sling for it, for easy carry. And I can take it into the living room and sew while hanging out with my husband. And I may still get the parts for the other Singer, now that I have a better idea of what I need.

 

AND, she sent me a goodie box! This is fun stuff too.

 

The machine needs to be cleaned a bit and the finish is chipped. It seems to run smoothly. I probably won’t get to try sewing with it until the weekend. I need to get back on track and work on the house this weekend too. No more fun piecing quilt patches. We just really need to get packed up and get this place on the market. I am looking forward to moving but not so much towards the getting ready to move which seems to have been going on forever.

  1. I love those decals, and there us nothing like an ORIGINAL hand crank. Have fun!
