My grandma's sewing machine that even my mom doesn't remember her using but my dad said she used it patching many of their jeans.

But I was told it was in the cedar closet in the attic, in the back. And we just started cleaning things out of there to get a chimney rebuilt and the sewing machine was on the other side, but I had to pull it out today while no one else was home because I didn't believe it. Well here it is, a White Dressmaster bought brand new on October 12, 1965(I found the manual). I have no idea if it still works as there's no outlets back there, but it's so pretty and as it was in the cabinet, there was hardly a layer of dust on it and it's not been touched in at least 5 years.

And looking through the manual, there are a lot of things underlined and circled which will help if we finally pull it out and try sewing with it. But I had to share as everyone else has pictures up of theirs!

I think she would like to get out of the attic and go home with you! She is a beauty.

Do you mean it's a white Dressmaker or that it's made by White? I thought White and Dressmaker were two different manufacturers. Very cool!
