Do you know what those are? Those are 5 different Singer Featherweight 221 sewing machines lined up in a row. I got to test drive them all to pick out the one that felt right to me. CarGuy is such a Hunny. I think I'll keep him. Here's my new baby. Birth date was 1938. Isn't she a sweetie?
Whoo-hoo! Congratulations! You're gonna fall in love all over again. My Baby was born in '34 (same as my mom) and they're just like VW bugs; run forever! Straightest stitch in the known universe. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteYou're right - CarGuy is a honey! What a great Christmas present.
ReplyDeleteAlright! This does it! I am green with envy? Are you happy now :) Wish I had...hhhmmm, CarGuy or Magiclady? Magiclady or CarGuy? My own husband who will copy CarGuy, my own MagicLady and a Singer Featherweight? YES! You lucky woman you! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great guy your husband is! How fun to have your pick of *five* of them. The one you picked looks great. I like the ones with the flowery face plate, which the newer ones didn't have. 1938 is what I learned to sew on.
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful that you actually got to test drive and pick from 5! Fun, fun, fun!
ReplyDeleteCheers!

ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your new acquisition. Featherweights are the best! I have a 1934 that I adore, as well as a white/green one.
You will so love sewing with this! I don't piece with anything else any more. What a sweet husband you have - and what a perfect Christmas gift for a quilter!

Oh, you're gonna love your new honey! I am the proud owner of two FWs and they both make such a beautiful straight stitch! Congrats.
ReplyDeleteOh man! What a dream to be able to choose a featherweight! Man, I was just happy to find 1! My baby is young, 1959, but at least I got one!
