Yes, I know that I have three sewing machines. Sew what? Vintage Bernina for everyday, Babylock for backup, and vintage Riccar for extra backup. (ok, it’s a very cool jadite green color, it’s for just because!)
On my way home from Baltimore yesterday I breezed into the Waldorf Thrift Store. Quite huge, I was sure there would be something that I needed there.
I saw this and I had to bring her home. She is like brand new, doesn’t even appear to have been used! She is a late model (that means plastic parts), but she is SWEDISH.
Can you make out the grease pencil price, $29.29!
I think it is time for daughter no. 2 to learn how to sew.

I wish I had learned to sew when I was a kid. It is embarrassing not to know this…. and to have to take lessons…and still feel out of it because the women taking lessons already know tons more than I do. arrgghhhh
oh, hey… I just noticed some fun little goodies scrolling past in the slide show… must have a look…

I love love love my Vikings.
I have two – one digital and one mechanical.
I bought Z a Janome Hello Kitty machine for her b-day and she prefers my Vikings.
Did I mention I love me Vikings?
Have fun, C
