These days, most of you come here via my other social media outlets looking for more sewing machine information. Instead of my handmade flowers. With that said, I am currently transitioning the content here to reflect that.

That doesn’t mean that I’m saying goodbye to my handmade flowers. In fact, I just did a surprise listing yesterday in the shop. However, I want to make sure that those of you who come here looking for more information about vintage sewing machines can find it.

Singer Featherweight vs Singer 301 — Singer 221K and 301A - video coming soon!

In the mean time, please subscribe to my fledging YouTube channel where I am currently sharing all of my sewing machine content.

Today happens to be National Sewing Machine Day. There’s a day for everything isn’t there. While I might be biased, I do think having a National Day for the sewing machine is completely warranted. What and absolutely cultural changing invention. I do love a good hand stitching session. It is truly an art. Adding a sewing machine to the mix of garment construction not only streamlined production but it put an incredible tool into homes. Allowing home sewists (I prefer sewist. The blend of sew and artist as I am not qualified to call myself the professional name seamstress.) the power to produce clothes, quilts and more at home not only in a functional manner but a new creative one too. When I got the hang of sewing on my treadle I imagined how my great grandmother’s life was changed with this invention. I personally appreciate my sewing machines particularly after a long hand sewing the hem on a circle skirt. Oof.

I am quite the sewing machine fan girl and I’m an intermediate user as best if you ask me. Hang around long enough here and I’ll try to persuade you to fall in love with a vintage sewing machine.

Bye for now!
