Wall of Sewing Machines Store
1 Attachment(s)
Remember, a while back, when someone posted a picture of a wall of antique sewing machines in a clothing store? Well, a couple of months ago, my hubby and I were in London. We were walking down Portobello Rd. and there it was, the "wall of sewing machines" store! What a surprise! I had to have a look inside. The store was one, in a chain of clothing stores and the clothes were so-so. It was kind of sad to see all those machines merely acting as decor for the store and not being loved.

At least they weren't all painted in company colors or turned into lamps or something!
Sounds like the machines were much more interesting than anything they were selling, LOL. |

Yep, that's the same store that is in Seattle and a few other places. I would imagine that it would take your breath away if you happened upon it unexpectedly! But oh how I would love to see them! As Sewnoma said, it's nice that they are not painted or lamps now but I always have wondered if they are/could be working machines still. So nice that you got to see them ... and to be in London too!!!

Maybe someone, seeing them there, will realize that old machies have a value. They at least dont have to be thrown away. They have a new purpose. :)

It would be great to see them used and loved. But there is value in seeing them on display and loved there. My question is whether or not there was information such as make, model, and year also displayed.

There is a Quilt Shop about an hour from where I live, and she has dozens of very old antique machines sitting all around in her store. I love looking at them, I would rather see them on display, then rusting away somewhere.
