Introdocing Rizzo, my latest fixer upper
She wasn't really a bad girl...just a little rough around the edges. I couldn't resist all that chrome, and she was less than $10. No power cord, but then we all have our problems.
It wasn't until I opened her up and saw all the black stuff--not grease, looked and felt like splattered melted plastic--that I asked her what she'd been up to.

And so she got all scrubbed up with new clothes. Runs like a charm! I'm going to make a jean circle quilt for a baby boy on her since she's got zigzag. I was fixing her up to sell, but Rizzo may be sticking around a bit. Girl's got a bit of a wild side to her, as you can tell.

Oh, Oh, I'm going to get my Mama's Universal. She's in a cabinet with drawers stuffed full. Cabinet is a desk style and I don't think she's very old...maybe not quite vintage yet. She's been sitting since my Mama passed over 10 years ago so just don't know what shape she's in but I know she'll be glad to be out in the open and used.
Anyway, hope you enjoy your Rizzo!!

I haven't measured to see if she'd fit my Singer treadle base...yet.
