This is a jigsaw puzzle my dad made me without even knowing about the featherweights that are so prominent on this site! The little Singer sewing machine on the right is the one I used to make Ginny doll clothes for and win ribbons from our neighborhood summer camps. I remember putting the doll with her newest frock on the table and getting ribbons! The little iron I used to press the seams... ahhh what memories. But the puzzle was an awesome surprise!

This is a beautiful puzzle! However, the machine is not a featherweight, but probably a Singer model 27, which predates the featherweights by nearly 50 years. I love the toy machine you made your Ginny doll clothes on! Great memories, huh?
