My doll clothes were meticulously sewn on the same Singer 201 dressmaker machine that was purchased the week I was born. It was always my own sewing machine, I still have it. I was taught to sew and maintain my own equipment from day one. Everyone sewed in the family, with Rolls Royce tastes on a wheelbarrow budget .. any outfit coveted in the catalogs or magazines could be copied and worn in a a day or two. I thought every family had a room full of fabric.bolts...there was a never ending choice of material .. and machines...the Goodwill rocked even in the 60's for thrift store machines.

This blog is already convincing me its time to start adding more machines to my small collection and expanding my horizons from Singers to anything cool that I can lay my hands on!!!!!
