Not a lot of sewing going on these past couple of weeks since I’ve been research vintage machines and been away to collect on :) First a picture of what followed me home from Glasgow.
Here is the Singer 27 Treadle.
As you can see I have my work cut out for me. I’ve cleaned up the head a little but I need to find a new front plate. Then I need to wait for some warmer weather so I can refurbish the top and irons. but it is really lovely.
Last week I made one Dear Jane block. And here it is:-
F-5 Parcheesi - A combination of machine piecing and hand appliqué; and this week another :-D
B-4 Chris’s Soccer Field. Which I paper pieced using my Vintage Jones Family CS hand crank sewing machine. It makes a nice stitch :)
That’s it from me for now ; –D
Happy Stitching, Elly
