Wow! Those matador suits are really works of art. And they are being made by hand and using a vintage sewing machine. Wonderful.

Looks like a Model 15 with maybe Sphinx decals. It appears to be a treadle.

One picture show an industrial machine as well.

Reminds me of Three Amigos when the people of Santa Poco were making costumes on their old machines to save the town! Anyone else remember?
