I have been considering buying a new machine for quite sometime now because the 'C' on mine is so pathetically small. No need to do it now because I have just inherrited this beauty from my Grandma. Look at the size of the 'C' its awesome. Not only that but isn't the machine georgous and it still works!!! By complete fluke I've got all the attachments too, pleating foot, hemming foot, ruffling foot the list just goes on and on.



This photo is a close up of one of the designs, I just love it. I thought that I'd use the machine as an ornament if I ever get a sewing room but on reflection its definitley going to be a working model, I can't wait to get time to play.


and as an added bonus the original instruction manual is with it too. The date on the manual is 1893 I'm not sure if that means its when the machine was patented or wether it reflects when this machine was made. I'd love to know.

  2. Lovely machine Anthea - looking forward to hearing about it - is it too heavy to bring to college? See you Sunday as I have a workshop with Philippa Naylor on Saturday.
