My mother still has hers and I'm hoping to inherit it.

And it still works! Needless to say, but I will, mine does not work. I do wish our modern sewing machines were prettier, wonder why they aren't? Anyways, looking forward to seeing your cards all sewn up now! I think it looks really great on cards and I have a sewing machine but I'm always neglecting that step. Meh. Its nice anyways. That was really sweet of you to make that picture for Jerry and I'm sure he will treasure it. Thanks for sharing all the pictures with us this week. And your wedding dress looks amazing! Those sleeves look really difficult but like you really nailed 'em, fab job there! Take care and thanks so much for sharing the great pictures this week. :)<br />Deeyll #77<br />Queen Lightwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12323813779305135126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-709379730385988881.post-4806189664334297342012-09-22T20:02:16.126-07:002012-09-22T20:02:16.126-07:00Would you look at your Singer - it is beautiful - ...Would you look at your Singer - it is beautiful - I do remember them.

Guess what, I also have exactly the very same model little sewing machine that my Dad bought for my Mum about 55 years ago. As you say, it's a Featherweight, which was essential as we moved all over the World. I lost count of the amazing clothes my Mum made using it.<br /><br />When I told Len he said it's safe and sound, stored in the loft here and do I want it brought down to play with. Is the Pope Catholic was my reply :) <br /><br />The foot slots into the inside of the lid I seem to recall and it really is a fabulous piece of engineering. And lovely to look at too. We didn't have a puppy to chew it - that would have just added to the memories I'm sure.<br /><br />Memory Lane today!<br /><br />Hugs, Di xxDihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06153667791623954306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-709379730385988881.post-8205600915498423412012-09-21T01:56:41.771-07:002012-09-21T01:56:41.771-07:00Oh the sewing machine is just darling and electric...Oh the sewing machine is just darling and electric too.

A few months ago I remembered that I'd inherited an old hand sewing machine from my husband's aunt more than 20 years ago, and it's been in the attic ever since. So I decided I would use it for stitching on cards.<br /><br />I hadn't realised it was a Jones Serpentine circa 1880! (Google it, they're fabulous). I polished and cleaned it, and it goes through the motions of sewing but I can't work out how to get the thread up through the shuttle so the stitch doesn't catch. So it's back in the attic. Oh well.<br /><br />Love your romantic Juliette wedding dress. And I agree with Shirley, it should be a full frontal.<br /><br />Lovely picture of you and Jerry. shirley-beehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17279462525416019890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-709379730385988881.post-91890051252504898872012-09-20T11:29:33.248-07:002012-09-20T11:29:33.248-07:00That little sewing machine is just beautiful Darne...That little sewing machine is just beautiful Darnell, can't believe you let in languish in the garage in the first place!!

I made my wedding dress with my mum and my booger was not the sleeves, but the 30 little pearl buttons up the back. I cursed my stupidity many times as I sat there attaching them, but they looked lovely on the day! I'm glad that the awesome little sewing machine is seeing the light of day again.<br /><br />And I LOVE Jesus rolling his eyes at the pair of you lovebirds!! But he knew that he was seeing a good pairing there, didn't he :D<br />With love, LLJ ~73 xxxxLunch Lady Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15592783504717849403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-709379730385988881.post-28968252955599041262012-09-19T19:10:54.926-07:002012-09-19T19:10:54.926-07:00Darnell, that was a wonderful post.

I also did the same as you, took 1 Home ec. course, and ended up making my wedding gown in 1976, not as fancy as your chiffon sleves, but similar style. Also made my maid of honors dress, and when i was driving down with it in the car it was on the hook by the window and blew out, rolled around on the highway and got run over! Ah the memories, thanks for bringing this all back!

They certainly don't make em like they used to eh? Your wedding dress is gorgeous from what I can see and the detail on the sleeve is amazing - you must have been a dressmaker in a former life if you only took one term of classes at school!
