Crazy Handmade Doll

Just a crazy doll I made.

Handmade Doll

The body fabric, which is pretty loud, 

has umbrellas printed all over it so I chose

 more subtle fabrics for her dress and pantaloons.

I sewed a piece of crochet edging to her forehead to represent a crown,

and the hair is three different colors of yarns with some pink ribbon thrown it.

Now if I could just teach her how to sew!

OH,

if anyone has a users manual for this machine that they would like to share?????

From what I can gather on the net,

 it's a Sewmor brand that Carl's put their name on.

Till next time, keep creating,

Vintage, Dressmaker Sewing Machine

My new find...
~ The vintage Dressmaker DeLuxe ZigZag Sewing Machine ~

1960's?

I've got myself a little sewing factory going on.

 

 

 

The vintage Singer Touch & sew. 1970's

 

 

The not so vintage Sears Kenmore. 2003

(I think the Kenmore is getting jealous).

 

With both a soap factory and a sewing factory going on over here,

the house is, shall we say, getting a little full!

 

The DIY dress form is still in the works.

Part 2 is on it's way.

 

Our first show of the season is this Saturday at the Waxahachie Civic Center,

maybe I'll sell enough to justify buying two "new" sewing machines.

 

Till next time, happy crafting:-)

The "New", Used Sewing Machine

Dallas Farmer's Market

I was looking for a used sewing machine on Craig's list

the other day and found one for $29.00.

A singer touch and sew, circa early 1970's.

Not a bad price for a machine in a cabinet, plus the matching chair.

 

The only problem?

 

It's location was in Dallas, about an hour away.

I might not even want it...

Maybe it wouldn't sew properly...

Maybe it would need work...

Maybe this was one of those Craig's list scams...

 

You can let the maybes deter you or just go do it!

 

So, off we went to give it a test drive.

 

It was a fine machine with bells and whistles,

 plus a few extras thrown in for good measure.

 

 

We tarped and tied her into the back of the pickup

and headed over to the Dallas farmer's market.

~Couldn't waste the fuel doing just one thing!~

 

Well, I have some sewing to do and soap to cut...

Hope you have an excellent day!

 

Till next time,

Bonjour
