It’s Sewing Machine Day !

Happiness in Seeing it

  Today is National Sewing Machine Day and I had to get it OUT ! I knew it was in the closet and seeing it again…just makes me HAPPY! It’s been a very long time.
I had to say good-bye to it’s original box years ago and this carpet bag is perfect for it.

My mom gave this to me years ago and I used it for classes for years. 
She tells the story.  This sewing machine was the first thing that She and my Father purchased together. She remember it being around 70.00 dollars. If they did it on payments my Grandfather would have to co-sign. They saved and purchased with cash, she said with a very large smile.
The pedal was replaced sometime ??
