Although for me it is only a little over a year I first joined on 6th April 2016 WOYWW 357. Thank you all for making me feel so welcome in this unique club.
Now for the reason we get together every Wednesday. To be nosey and look in on all your work desks.
Wonder how many of you sew on a machine like this, my faithful old industial Singer. It might only be a straight stitcher but I really like it.
So that's it for today short and sweet now over to Julia on this special day.
Happy 8th WOYWW Anniversary. So glad you started playing along. Your machine is a good one, I only wish I still had a my machine like that, mine needed repair and I ended up getting a new one, so computerized I can barely use it. Your name is below mine, so I will be sending you an ATC, please email your address to hilsyl@gmail.com Have a fun week.
ReplyDeleteI inherited my grandmother's treadle machine, which is a New Home. She sewed on it till the day she died. The belt broke, but I found a new one, so hope to fix it one of these days and sew on it. I like that you use yours, too. Happy 8th Anniversary from # 1.
ReplyDeleteOh I love your machine - I learned to sew on an old Singer, remember being fascinated by turning the handle and watching the magic happen! I may have an electric machine now but it's very straightforward compared to many modern machines. Have fun making the cards and Happy 8th WOYWW!

Morning Ani. Happy 8th anniversary. Yes, the group is indeed very welcoming and friendly. I really enjoy it too. That sewing machine is lovely - very like the one I started on! Enjoy your cardmaking.
ReplyDeleteYour ATC went in the post yesterday.
Take care. God bless.

Good morning my friend and a very happy 8th year anniversary. What a wonderful group we are part of.
ReplyDeleteI see I'm your PIF recipient but I'm pleased to say I'm already on your list :-)
Thanks for all your visits and for all your lovely comments.
Hugs,

What a fantastic sewing machine. My grandmother used to have an old treadle run Singer machine (more a piece of furniture). When I was 15 I remember making a skirt and blouse on it. Look forward to seeing the fruits of your card making. Sarah #27
ReplyDeleteHi Ani, what a fantastic machine! We had machines just like that when I was at school- then they bought a brand new electric one. It was the only one in the school, and did zig zag stitch as well as straight! Everyone wanted to use it. :) Have a lovely week, Love and hugs,Shaz #7 XxX
ReplyDeleteI have my mum's old singer but I use my industrial model 101 and a Pfaff and a toyota jeans machine, sometimes I hop from one to the other Mr G thinks I am mad, but like people no two machine are the same and each does a better job at different things, I think your machine is simply gorgeous, doone @23
ReplyDeleteI have an old White that belonged to my great grandma ( that works just fine and a treadle white that is in the living room because, its in a cabinet and I don't use it but, it also works. but, my step mom has a singer like your's so that is what I first got to learn on so I totally grinned seeing yours. ~Stacy #42
ReplyDeleteHi Ani, My mum had a tredle Singer.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog.
Happy WOYWW, 8th Anniversary

I LOVE your sewing machine! Older machines are sometimes the best. I used my grandmother's machine until it wore out from use. An old Rotary with a knee control rather than a foot one. And leave it to you, a fabric artist, to have such a cool collection of scissors! Happy 8th!

ReplyDeleteHave a Wonderful Wednesday!

Now that is a real work horse of a sewing machine - you can tackle anything on that! Happy 8th WOYWW anniversary! We are so lucky to be part of the WOYWW sharing, caring community of like minded folk - long may it last! x Jo
ReplyDeleteYour sewing machine is great! I sold one just like it a few years ago! Have fun with your cardmaking! Happy WOYWW Anniversary! Lindart #51
ReplyDeleteHi Ani, I used to have one of those, too. My husband has a colleague, from Cameroon, I think, who sends them home for a women's charity that helps them set up craft businesses, so off it went, when I got a slightly more up to date one. I love your 'crafting supervisors' too! My 2 cats are mine. I think they like the calm vibes. Happy WOYWW 8! Lynnecrafts #20
ReplyDeleteLove that machine. I've got grandmas old singer and it only goes forward and back, but it's never given me as much trouble as the newer one I also have! Really like how you're flitting between paper and fabric with no major procrastinating or drama. So noticeable to one like me!,
ReplyDeleteHi Ani. I learned to sew on a machine like that but it was a Jones it had a bullet instead of a shuttle. Of all the days to choose my friends came round and we've been out most of the day so I am trying to catch-up with the visits before bed. Many thanks for the visit to mine. Happy woyww, Angela x17x
ReplyDeleteHappy 8th Anniversary! I love that machine...and am jealous of all who can sew! Have a great week.

Oh love the sewing machine, I have a hand version which was my grandmother's but don't use it. Never thought I turn electric as I learnt on a hand one in school, but I did and it is Jenome all the way now. Thanks for the visit and Happy 8th WOYWW Anniversary BJ#19
ReplyDeleteAh I love treadle machines Ani, I learnt to sew on it in sixth class, but mum had a knee press singer so used that too, it was early style of electric one. Somehow I loved the control you had with a treadle though and it sewed beautifully. Happy 8 th WOYWW!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your inspiration!

Oh I love your machine the DH made me get rid of mine it was a portable box one like 60lb that he hated toting around but they are pretty to look at :)
ReplyDeleteHappy 8th and I've a new WOYWW #8 Blog button up now
hugs Nikki last place
I love the header to your blog with the best friends lounging together! Busy looking desk and love the old machine. I have an old Singer that was converted to electricity but hardly every use it. Happy WOYWW 8th Anniversary! Even thought I only started in 2010 it has been a lot of fun blog hopping with this group! Hope you have a great week. Vickie #55
ReplyDeleteI have two sewing machines. A new all singing one (well not digital or anything but does do fancy stitches) and mum's old one which is a Singer. I still drag the old one out when I have a job to do, so much easier to understand.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the card making, look forward to seeing what you are doing.
Thanks for visiting me and Happy 8th Anniversary - Hugs, Neet xx
that is one awesome sewing machine, i would happily place it decorative in my home (I can not sew at all sadly) Happy very belated WOYWW, Vicky
ReplyDeleteHI Ani, I am ashamed to say i am responding to your comment on my 416 post, thank you for visiting my desk and your nice comments.
ReplyDeleteMy mum had a machine like that, my dad said she needed something newer, so bought her a new one which she never used, so I bottowed it to make my curtains when i got married, and she never had it back.
