Wow, I’ve had a chance this morning to play with my ‘new’ old machine.
It is hand powered so there is great control on speed which I sometimes find hard with my electric, so I thought I would have a go at some Poppy Treffry style work. I have long been an admirer of her work but didn’t think I had the patience, Tobi bought me her book Free and Easy Stitch Style last year and it made me really want to give it a go.
Here’s what I have done this morning:
It may well become a tea cosy (thanks for the push on this Claire!). This machine is fantastic, it may well become my new best friend.
hey, that looks amazing!really pretty,i have a white linen skirt in a style like this (but its all printed) and i love it so much it comes out summer after summer!
I have an ‘old’ singer, sadly broken at the moment but this one really is old!
Hi Mary, it looks fantastic but do you want to borrow mine until you get yours back?
