In the 18th century, several attempts were made to develop a machine to replace "hand sewing." It wasn't until around 1830 that the first sewing machines appeared in sewing workshops, much to the dismay of manual workers, but the development of this new invention was unstoppable. Initially, these sewing machines used a chain stitch with a single thread, later evolving to a system with a loose bobbin at the bottom and a thread at the top; this is still used in most sewing machines today.

Different coloured reels of cotton, some old inherited reels that look like they have been used on a spool on a sewing machine (in the foreground) and other more recent reels in the background.

Did you happen to notice the swell of the ocean approaching the port side of the boat?

Brocante des Allées François Verdier - Flea/Antique Market - Toulouse - from my original photograph.
Got obsessed with:
Juxtaposition of colour
Detail in the thread
The tops of the reels
How the light plays on the overlapping thread
Ended up with a bit of all of the above.
Was never going to be an issue with finding thread in our house as my wife loves leatherwork and our son is off to Uni to study textile design!
Reel-to-reel machine + Magnetic tape 7 ½ ips, 4-Track Stereo, Double album, K3002, Polydor, 1971.
Below is a quote from Wikipedia:
"...Back to the Roots is a 1971 double album by John Mayall released on Polydor. Recording sessions took place both in California and London where Mayall invited some former members of his band, notably guitarists Eric Clapton and Mick Taylor.
At the end of the 1980s Mayall remixed some tracks and issued them along with some of the older material as Archives to Eighties. An expanded two-CD version of Back to the Roots now includes both the original and later remixed versions of the tracks..."

This very early Super Simplex 35mm film movie projector from the early 1930's on display in the Warner Theater, Torrington, CT, and was manufactured by The Precision Machine Co., New York, NY.
Edwin S. Porter, director of “The Great Train Robbery”, left the employ of Edison, bought the Precision Machine Company and produced the Simplex projector in 1909. He had improved the design of the Edison Exhibition Kinetoscope and was responsible for the Super Simplex, which was introduced in the early 1930s. The Simplex line of projectors was one of the most popular American Brands from the silent era until the transition to digital projection. Simplex projectors were originally manufactured by the Precision Machine Company. Over the course of a series of mergers and consolidations, the Simplex line was manufactured by the International Projector Corporation, General Precision, Inc., National Theater Supply. This is a museum-worthy projector is of significant historical importance. The best of early movie history and an amazing survivor.

"Try to be a rainbow in someone's cloud." - Maya Angelou
The theme for the week is reels. This is an old wooden spool of thread that I loaded with rainbow colors. My grandma's sewing implements have been great for photographic subjects over the years. HMM!
My favourite genre is Still Life and I'm hoping at some point I will be able to get back into the regular swing of it _ maybe I could get myself some sort of back support to avoid the inevitable aches and pains! I do find heat pads particularly soothing. Ha ha - forgive my ramblings - this is supposed to be about photography !
My contribution for this weeks Macro Mondays. My favourite thread for presents got to be my object for today sitting on its reel.
When it was my birthday a few months ago, a very dear friend who enjoys photography as much as I do, and knows that I collect beautiful and vintage pieces, gave me a wonderful selection of antique ribbons, buttons, buckles, lace and other fine notions. She also gave me three follow up tins of similar delightful gifts for Christmas.
Amongst the gifts was this pretty ribbon of yellow and white embroidered daisies which I have set up on the back terrace with my garden as a backdrop against one of my antique embroidered Art Deco doilies from the 1930s, and accessorised with two spools of Dewhurst's Sylko lemon yellow cotton, which date from between 1954 and 1958.
Belle Vue Mill, commonly known as Dewhurst’s, was built by Thomas Dewhurst in 1828. It opened in 1829 as John Dewhurst & Sons and was one of Skipton’s largest spinning and weaving mills. The mill’s position next to the Leeds Liverpool Canal meant that raw cotton could be shipped in by boats from Liverpool. Finished goods would then be sent back the same way ready for distribution. Coal to power the machine’s steam engines was also delivered by barge. In 1897 Dewhurst’s was bought by the English Sewing Cotton Co. It continued to produce Sylko, one of the mill’s most famous products. It was produced in over 500 colours and sold throughout the world. Sylko cottons are still available at haberdashers today.
