I was taking photos and touching up old sewing machines getting them ready to list tomorrow. I always double check to make sure they all work; checking the stitches, bobbin windings etc. For sewing machines that are older than 60 years old they run so smooth, I love the old heavy all metal vintage machines.
Oh, why am I sitting in the house? I got Willow's harness out; she was jumping a foot high with excitement. We went for a walk to the park, what a beautiful day. There were three little kids flying kites. I never could get the hang of doing that, those kids got the kites up right away, maybe they had some practice. It was such a nice afternoon I couldn't go back in the house so I grabbed a book and sat out on the patio to read. I saw my first robin for this spring, what a great day. Willow just sat by my feet, if that would have been Abby, my last dog, she would have been running across the yard trying to catch the bird.
Below is a Singer 66-16, a beautiful lady that's been around for a long time. When I got her she was really dirty, had a lot of fuzz and thread to clean out of the bobbin area, and needed all new wiring. After that was done I greased and oiled her. She’s now bright and shiny, ready to go. Anyone who gets her will love her; she works hard and can go through 5-6 layers of fabric with no problem.
