DAY TEN - CHILDHOOD


Forty-two years ago this sewing machine worked (and had been working for a very long time!) then at 78 Wee Gran's eyesight forced her to give up and somehow over the next nine years the treadle and a bit of the bobbin casing got lost but I keep to remind myself how blessed I am to have a Pfaff Creative 2.0.

That looks like the machine my grandmother used, and then my daughter inherited, and keeps using to this day, to make 12' drapes and tents and jackets....and I have never once sewed on a machine that venerable!

My Mum always said her Pfaff was the best sewing machine she ever worked with, and was devastated when it gave up the ghost and could not be resuscitated.......

Gretchen, I'm so glad to hear there's one still going!

Your mum is right, Sian, they are beautiful machines.
