delld Posted May 19, 2016 Report Share Posted May 19, 2016 I was going though old pictures (slides) that my parents took while we were growing up. Santa brought this to a very surprised 6 year old. I don't think Mr and Mrs. Santa knew what they had created in this little girl!!!!! I still have the cabinet and all the attachments. When I bought my Singer Touch and Sew Dad made it so the Singer would drop in the space and I could sew. My parents had to move while I was away at college and the head weighed so much they threw it away. I sure miss her.~~~~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kkey1030 Posted May 23, 2016 Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 The first time I ever used a sewing machine was when I was 13 and in 7th grade. All the boys had to take a semester of home ec (remember those classes?), and our first assignment was to sew a chef's apron for ourselves to use in the cooking portion of the class. I enjoyed it so much I learned to use my mom's White sewing machine at home too. It was a good twenty years before I had a machine of my own and made my first quilt.

EHonour Posted May 31, 2016 Report Share Posted May 31, 2016 What a beautiful piece of nostalgia! The form and shape of that Singer stand is classic, but I don't think I ever saw one with the pretty detailing on the drawers. And your smile is so proud. Did you sew that dress for the doll?

delld Posted May 31, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2016 It was a Whe What a beautiful piece of nostalgia! The form and shape of that Singer stand is classic, but I don't think I ever saw one with the pretty detailing on the drawers. And your smile is so proud. Did you sew that dress for the doll? The machine was a Wheeler and Wilson which was bought out by Singer for the Bobbin Case we know today. Singer sold the W&W for about 19 years before they closed the brand down. As i remember the machine was made about 1889 or 1898. It's been 50 years since I have been the head. Still of the base and all the attachments! Santa took Dell Jo, my doll, away and brought her back with a new wig and a nurse's outfit because at that time in my short life I thought I might want to be a nurse!!!! Ha ha. I majored in Home Ec. Education. By the way I sewed on that machine until I was in college. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
