Overexposed and Ornate

The local arts centre has an exhibition about sewing and patterns. Didn't understand much of it, but then I cannot thread a needle, never mind a machine!!
Great shot of this wonderful old probably Singer machine. I inherited the next generation from my grandmother ;-)

We have a very similar model of sewing machine, vintage but works so well.

My grandmother was a seamstress and she was always sewing. When she was older, I had to thread her needles, many needles.

Would be worth a small fortune now I suspect Jackie, nicely captured in lovely detail:)

Oh my mum had one just like this!

A lovely old sewing machine. I like the ornamentation on the machine.

What a wonderful old machine. My Mother made all her own clothes as a young woman and when it came to specialty clothing and fancy dress she made all my clothing. She insisted I learn how to sew, and I'm grateful she did, although I don't appreciate my husband taking advantage for canvases for our boat! It's a little sad young girls aren't learning to sew these days.
