Growing up, I repeatedly listen to the buzz of my Nana’s antique sewing machine. Though it seemed awfully ancient, it was beautiful and stylish. My grandmother mentioned that she got the sewing machine from her Aunt who taught her how to use the machine. Everyday, she always appeared to have sewing work ranging from pillows and curtains to outfits. Sometimes, I would also see my mother give granny’s antique sewing machine a whirl. Mutually, they created several gorgeous designs that I have always cherished until this day.
When my parents died, I inherited almost everything including my dear grandmother’s beautiful vintage sewing machine parts. I was so surprised at how beautiful it still appears. And the most amazing thing about it is that it works flawlessly albeit slow. Thankfully, my mother had a gift for keeping valuables undamaged and maintained.
One day while I was browsing the internet, I came across a photo of the antique sewing machines similar to the one I inherited from my grandmother. It turns out that I own an antique sewing machine from Singer. The specific model that I have was called The Family or more prominently known as The Turtleback. A rare piece, the Turtleback has been hunted by many antique collectors who are eager to give huge amount for it. Because of my surprising discovery, I adored my antique sewing machine even more. Eventually I got passionate into researching more data about various antique sewing machines that made a mark in the textile industry as well as in the lives of millions of homes. By then my attraction for these wonderful machines grew and I began collecting earlier pieces of sewing machines as well.
After many flea markets, garage sales, and online auctions later, I have acquired several antique sewing machines that are truly the envy of many antique collectors. What’s so great about my acquirement’s are that they are for the most part in perfect shape. Though some of them might require a bit of maintenance, my antique sewing machines look beautiful.
