I sometimes find Junk Love at the end of someone's driveway. That would be the case this time. Going to visit my friend, this was right at her front door...on the way out to the end of her driveway!
It's not in the best of condition, nor works properly.
I'm going to clean this machine up! I plan to remove the motor and will purchase a hand crank conversion kit. I will also build a box for it to live in. My 7-year old daughter LOVES sewing on hand cranks and this one will be her very own!
Also, while on this visit, my friend and I checked out an antique shop and I found these vintage embroidery design cloths/fabrics tucked away in a basket on a shelf. These will be good 'sitting' projects (you know, doctor/dentist's office visits, etc.).
Until next time...Peace and Junk Love!

I would give anything just to stumble over a vintage singer sewing machine! It is my lifetime goal to own one:)

Great way to teach your daughter to sew. She will have lots of fun. Just don't fight over the stash ;-)

What a find! I wish I had the ability to fix stuff and make it work!
It tell you it's just like my Grandma's that machine. AND I own it now... I love it as it is the machine I learnt to sew with... can't wait to see more girl!!!
