I promised I would post pics of a sewing machine conversion from motorized to hand crank for my 7 year-old daughter, Alyssa. Alyssa LOVES to sew on a hand crank and I promised she could have her own!
I featured this sewing machine that was destined for 'removal' and became my junk find; February 16, 2010, "I'm A Junk Gypsy".
I ordered the parts to convert this machine from Stitches in Time; and I completed the conversion today!
I just need to purchase a lid for her machine. The base was another junk find of mine!
Alyssa is one happy girl! I gotta get a project this weekend for us both to do on our 'own' hand cranks!
HAPPY SEWING!

Wow that's wonderful. I've been wishing my daughter would show a little interest in sewing. Sadly she's 17 and still not interested.
Hope Alyssa has many hours of fun.
Way to go :-)
Have a great weekend
Cheers

How do you use a handcrank? Isn't it tough to sew with only one hand? I'm always thinking I could use an extra hand as it is.
That's insanely awesome... you better have a good time!!
