sewing machines

Recently i walked into a charity shop up the road and was greeted by a foot pedal powered Singer sewing machine:
Singer Table
For only £95 you could be the proud owner of a classic foot powered sewing machine. For the anyone too lazy to pump their feet, an electric motor had been installed also. That could be removed, and a band put on to make it fully functional again. The drawers were already stocked with brightly colored thread:
comes with all your favourite colours!

I remember we always used to have a broken Singer table on our deck. The foot pedal was cracked. The top had been replaced with a few 2×6’s. It was always a bit of a mystery to me, but the crank turning the flywheel was always fascinating. Ingenious.

Moving on to today. Another charity shop (they are in fierce competition around here) is selling a hand cranked sewing machine. Much more compact and practical i should say:
hand cranked

For £40, this one just needs a little oil and love. Only comes with black thread, which is a bit of a drawback.

If anyone is interested in getting one, let me know and ill see if its still there!
