My Dad bought me a Kenmore when I was 23. You couldn't get me near a sewing machine before I had kids but when my first son was born I wanted to learn how to sew!!!!!!!!! :D:D
My Mom told my Dad that I needed a sewing machine and all the notions b/c money was tight then for DH and me.
Glad for that!!!
I will NEVER part with that machine, in fact it still works.
My boys also know it's to stay in the family b/c of Pop :)
