Vintage Sewing Goody Grab Bag

 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,

Elna Super 62 Vintage Sewing Machine


I'm so excited!  My husband brought home this somewhat beat up old Elna Super 62.  I can't wait to get her cleaned up, maintained, and sewing.  I've heard these old Elna Supers are real workhorses.  Lucky me, she came with the original manual and a box full of cams.  Should be fun! 


This is the carrying case.  It's pretty neat.  See the cutout?  It fits around the bed of the machine for maximum sewing space.  Yahoo!  


Earlier this week I cut out and prepared these two baggies of squares.  They will be my test subjects, when Elna is ready to roll. More to come on that quilting project, soon.

 Do you own any vintage machines?  Do you have a favorite?  Leave a comment below.

Have a lovely day,

Jennifer Schifano Thomas
