Hey Everybody look what my hubby got me for my birthday

My DH has this awesome friend who repainted my featherweight (that was a 1937 model) and sewed so slow ... his friend Lin took it apart and redid the whole thing ... cleaned the motor and reworked everything about it
now it is said it runs like a gazel .... I'm so excited I should get her home by next week .... and she has been renamed Miss Ruby Red ... no longer is she a Pokey Nellie !!!!!... I've wanted a red Featherweight for years .... this is such an awesome gift .... and I might add the friend who did it does some awesome work it is beautiful .... I just had to share this ...

WooooHooooo - I love it. I have a black one made in 1948, the year I was born and I absolutely love sewing on mine. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do mine.

You sure had a good Birthday. She is a beauty, and your husband is a keeper (but you already knew that , right). BrendaK

How wonderful for you and the machine. I admire so much people that can do this kind of work. Another beautiful machine saved!

You have a wonderful husband and friend too!
