Antique Sewing Machine

OK - this looks like it's becoming a category in it's own right and, as I couldn't join in the "unpolarized plug" (we have different plugs completely in the UK) I CAN join in with this one .... and mine's so old it doesn't have a plug of any sort -

what's in the box?

...my sewing machine. Bought for me by my dad at an antique fair at least 15 years ago, possibly longer. The box is a wonderful piece of furniture in it's own right (get's used as a side table I'm afraid) and the machine inside is beautiful too. (and it works - ok it only does straight stitching and you have to crank it by hand but the tension is perfect!)

Vintage Sewing Machine

I searched my house high and low for something, anything with an unpolarized plug, with no results. After reading Andi's post about the sewing machine, I realized I had something just perfect. A vintage sewing machine my husband picked up at a yard sale a few years back.



It's really a neat piece of machinery... I love the style of it, but as you can tell by the extreme layer of dust, it isn't very useful. . in fact, I'm not even sure it works.... it's just sitting there on a shelf in my garage. . .
