Here is my sewing machine that i sewed on while I was a child... yes this one! It was my girl, story goes... I trade my sister's friend for a " better" one so I thought only to go buy my first machine after sewing with it. Well later in talking about the machine I found out that it was my Aunt's that was her mom's ( my great grandmother ) Once I found this out I wanted so bad to ask for it back, well many years went and i wondered if she even had it.. so I emailed her and asked if she still had it... and she said yes and asked me if I would like it because she was going to get rid of it.. Well I took her to lunch and I brought her back home !! isn't she pretty? She is a shuttle bobbin and still has all her attachments.. I think they are pansy flowers ... the cabinet needs to be revarnished but she is a keeper...

Jackie, I learned on her! I am 47 and I made barbie clothes, rag dolls and I even made my clothes in high school on her, I made those long wool skirts and even a blazer! Carmella's mom made her beautiful outfits, so I jumped right into it.. I will make my note and will even put a picture of aunt dell and Gram Weigand " Minnie " in it...

So glad she is back home with you! I love the flower decals.

Definitely jot down the story and include some pictures. I'd like to see future generations sewing on that beauty. Or at the very least, enjoying the history of your machine.
