Smile on Saturday theme: mini figures

 

I’ve needed some help on my sewing projects and they came to help.

 

Thanks so very much for your kind comments and favs. They are all greatly appreciated!

This is my lovely wife Sherrie sewing a cover for her sewing machine. Until recently our sewing machine had primarily been used for hemming pants. Sherrie has recently fallen in love with sewing crafty things and our sewing machine now deserves a cover instead of going back in the box after each use.

"52 Weeks of Pix 2014" My new (old) 1951 Singer Centennial featherwieght sewing machine. “Love it” because it was made the year that I was born. This is a close up of the Centennial Badge on the front of the machine.

Another of the unending queue of Valentine projects.

This was in Gondar but it is quite common to see tailors working in the street

You never know how interesting something can be until you take a moment to be curious.

Day 1 - repairing a friends sewing machine for my own purposes

I found an old Singer that's the exact model I learned how to sew on more than a few years ago. I've been wanting to get one for years, and I walked into a rummage sale Saturday and bought the whole thing for $20.00!! I'm feeling really happy and blessed right now.

This is My Nana's sewing machine.She was an extremely good seamstress.She would always fix everyones clothes.I have recently been messing around with sewing.Just fixing simple things.I am really eager to learn how to use this machine.

 

I am using this photo as my 7th photo ,for my 365 photo challenge.

 

I have done some slight editing with Adobe photoshop lightroom 2.

I am finishing up a dress for my daughter and I thought I should pay tribute to the wonderful machine that allows me to make cute clothes!

Working on a project for Joann Fabric and Craft Stores.

My aunt gave me this today!! How awesome is that? It's the machine I have wanted for a long time. She has had it for a few years and only uses it every once in a while at her lake house when they do sewing weekends. She uses Berninas at home and got a new one the other day and decided to work exclusively on Bernina which turned out to be a good thing for me!

 

I have been playing with it today and learning it, but I LOVE it so far...so much better than my $200 Brother!

The old sewing machine, Tikka. Tikka is Finnish word and it means woodpecker in English.

'New Family' Sewing Machine (Model 12/12K) with Moulded Plywood Cover, 1988

Manufactured by Singer Manufacturing Company Scotland or USA

Painted cast iron sewing machine; case of moulded 3-ply nyssa-faced plywood with veneered solid gum base and ends

 

The Singer Manufacturing Company was almost certainly the world's largest plywood furniture producer from the 1880s to the 1950s. They used plywood in tables, cabinets and sewing machine covers such as this. Singer used plywood to reduce costs and simplify production. They manufactured it in their factories from raw materials, including (from at least the 1910s) logging trees and cutting veneers.

Part of Plywood: Material of the Modern World

(July to November 2017)

 

Plywood is made by gluing together thin sheets of wood called veneers, with the grain of each sheet running in an alternate direction. This creates a material that is stronger and more flexible than solid wood. The technique has been around for a long time – as early as 2600 BC in ancient Egypt – but it was not until the 1850s that plywood started to be used on an industrial scale.

Featuring groundbreaking pieces by Alvar Aalto, Marcel Breuer and Charles and Ray Eames, alongside an incredible range of objects from planes to skateboards, this exhibition told the story of how this often-overlooked material made the modern world.

i made it a whole week!

that's something to be proud of, if you know me at all.

i'm quite absentminded and i don't follow through on long term things haha.

 

so this is a picture of a very very old sewing machine.

it was my grandmothers, same story as the rocking chair.

it's probably an antique, it has a peddle you have to pump, kind of like a bicycle.

when my cousins and i were young, and we went around the bay, we'd play with it.

oh the memories.

it also reminds me of my best friend who is following her dream doing fashion design in toronto.

but then again, a piece of thread reminds me of her. haha.

funny how one little object can remind you of so many things.

I wanted to use this one for Laurels 365 day project but she chose the other. You can see the reflection of my sewing machine in her eye! Still going to load it anyway ~ nananana can't tell me what to do kiddo!
