I recently picked up a grab bag of vintage sewing goodies. Included in this find is:
An old Singer Oil can - no oil.
This small glass dish. I was told it's a button dish. I've never seen one before. I'm using it to hold my lint brush, screwdriver, and other tools I use while I'm machine quilting.
Five old bobbins. Look at the rainbow of thread that's been wound on two of the clear bobbins. What happened to that red thread? Melted? It looks rough!
Old Singer bag with several packages of needles, some open, some not.
Singer's Student's Manual of Machine Sewing
Manual for a Singer 503! Yay! I own one of these machines.
Singer Student's Manual of How to Care for and Regulate Your Sewing Machine
Singer Sewing Equipment for Schools and Colleges
Singer Ideas for ZigZag Sewing - Love the colorfully stitched "ZIGZAG" lettering.
Singer Electric Sewing Machines
Manual for a Singer 66. Somehow a "Swing Tap" image got transferred upside down onto the front of this manual.
I love finding fun and vintage sewing accessories like these! Do you have a collection? Leave a comment below.
Have a wonderful day,
Jennifer Schifano Thomas
