My very own new/vintage aqua Singer ;)

Hello,

Saturday was a real good thrifting day for me as some of you know. Gavin and I had gone to two planned tag sales, so were just driving and we see a few signs for Huge Tag Sale. So we go and check it out. Not to much that catches my eye and I'm almost done looking until I see something aqua and large hiding under a table that catches my eye. I kneel down and sure enough it's a beautiful Singer sewing machine! The price was right and I liked it! I was thrilled, my own Singer sewing machine! I don't now how to sew yet but I'm eager to learn. Yesterday I cleaned it up, checked to see if it worked and I went to youtube and learned how to thread it! It's Great!! Before I started blogging which is only about 2 months ago, I probably wouldn't have thought twice about the lovely Singer! Yet having seen some of the work my fellow bloggers have done, you guys have inspired me to learn a new craft! So here are a few pics!


 Isn't she a beauty!
Goodnight!

  2. How fun! I have an old 1940's Singer that was passed through my family. I LOVE it! Looking forward to seeing what you create with it!
