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,

Jennifer Schifano Thomas

Where's William?

 Where's my kitty, William?  Can you see him in my quilt cabinet?  He nosed his way in there while I was eating my lunch and watching a Craftsy class.  

There he is!  I love it.  He just wanted to cuddle up with a quilt for nap time.  Oh kitty!

Hope you are having a wonderful day!

Pretty Pincushion

 Just a quick post today - I wanted to share this vintage-y pincushion I found at the local thrift shop.  I still need to clean it up; maybe I'll share an "after" picture, too.  Isn't it cute?  It's about the size of my fist.  The tiny ruler is my favorite part.  Ruler, buttons, wooden thread spools, tiny bits of folded fabric, all tucked inside a little basket.  So cute & this would be a fun, easy, and thrifty gift to make for all of your quilting friends.  Do you have any quick to sew gift ideas?  Please share in the comment section below.

Don't forget to join me on November 16th for the Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks, Volume 12 Blog Tour.  That's one week from tomorrow - how exciting!  Mark your calendar.  I'll see you then.

Have a lovely day,

Jennifer Schifano Thomas
