Inherited TREASURE

I was not into sewing lately.....and the agony of not doing so really irritate me .... I filled my time with some hand stitch which I will make an entry later.

Lately I dug up an old SINGER sewing machine which belonged to my late Grandmother which when I googled I found this info. The Registered Numbers EG- 770876, Model no is 15K, manufactured date was August 21, 1951. SINGER SEWING COMPANY "EG" Series Factory Name: Kilbowie' Clydebank Scotland.

Wow, so astonishing and I inherited a living TREASURE!

This machine was transformed from hand-cranked to a foot treadle...... When Granny gave me this I left it mobile at my Mum's place, but my 'smart-brother' modified it, with some explainations saying that his wife did not know how to use it by its original made...... lame excuses!!!!!!

I hate to have lost its hand paddle, the wooden base and box cover ...... very sad and most importantly it has lost its originality!!!!!! I have no idea how long the machine had sat, unused and abandoned in our utility room.

Oh yes, I did not mentioned here before, I have lost my Faith for good this time. She had retired. So, to suit my needs of a good machine I have used my magic wand again and make-over this BLACKIE and I am going to use it now as my favourite sewing machine ..... the rest with be used occasionally now.

So this is my new companion...... She needs more polishing though. I installed her with plastic body with extra bed and Japan made motor and controller with foot paddle. Please anyone, I need a suitable name for this BLACK BEAUTY of mine....... your suggestions is much appreciated ..... thank you.
