Last week I bought a sewing machine.
It is an old Singer, like 1960 Singer. Miriam bought one back just like it when they were new. Along the way it was gifted, so rather than ask for the original back, I bought one.
It is one of the solid old ladies, a 401a. No plastic gears, just go and go, and it is heavy! And this one is pristine. If it was used it was used very little. That is good. When I saw that, I didn’t even question the price, I just pulled out the cash!
When I was 11 or 12 I sewed quite a bit, on Mom's old strait stitch Singer. Don't intend to sew clothes, but totes and curtains and such, things to make my life a bit more organized and warmer! But mostly I want to make insulated Roman Shades for all of my outside windows!
And, today I ordered a yard of “Warm Windows”, a multiply ply blind material that is pretty close to state of the art at this point. I can promise you that this first one will not be fabulous, but it is in my bedroom!
And, if necessary, I can keep the door locked when I have visitors! (Or I could do it over).
Either way, pictures will follow!
