That brings back memories as well to me, I too first learned on a treadle and was so short I had trouble reaching the treadle base. And also we had a spring model show ... I was the one who got to wear the "broom skirt" and box top top that buttoned at the shoulder! I think no one else would of wanted to wear it! lol Sewing was fun and scary in the beginning for me. I did not have a mother who sewed or a sewing machine. My mom found a used table top with a carrying case for me for Christmas in my 8th grade year! I sewed on that until the middle 70's and got a Domestic heavy duty machine which I still have! anyways, it was fun to reminisce. Thanks for sharing your pictures!
