My machine is huzzied up!


Hi everyone!  I always find fun things on blogs.  good ideas!  things I didn't know I needed.  New projects.  Blogs are my friend.  Blogs are NOT my friend! 

I follow Aunt Polly's Porch  She always is working on something fun, or has something I want to do too. 

The other day, she mentioned Zindee Studios . And I had to have it! 

Sooooooo........


This is now on my wheel on the side of the machine. 

 
And this is on the front! 


Thank you Aunt Pollly for sharing and for Sherrell for doing the vinyl and such quick service.  I am doing the happy dance!!!  I almost ordered the vinyl in pink, but was afraid that it would show as well  So I went safe.  I still love it.  it makes me smile.  It makes me happy! 

Now, I am going to sew, and smile, and be happy!   hugs.....

A Treadling I will go!

A while back I shared that my daughter gave me a Singer treadle machine.  I have always wanted a Singer treadle.  I just love the way they look.  I love the quiet sound they make.  This one is a 15 - 80. 

I met Gary on Treadleon.  He is a local guy, who loves to restore treadle machines.  He worked a bit on my Wheeler Wilson and came over the other day to work on this new one.  Well, it is new compared to the Wheeler Wilson! 

this new machine was made in 1949, in Scotland!  I would love to know the story on how it traveled to CA, then to AZ.  That machine has traveled more than I!

It needed a new bobbin case and bobbins.  He didn't need to replace the belt.  He tightened, adjusted and played.  And now it works!  thank you Gary!!!!

So if you need some treadling advice, work, etc, please give Gary an email!  Restoration Antique Sewing Machine Cabinets

Just a very happy treadler recommendation!
