When I got my new sewing machine a few years ago, I promised Anne-Sophie that she could have my old Singer. (Actually Emil was supposed to use it as well, if he ever had the need for it! I have a feeling that it might never occur again. I think that we must see it as a thing he loved to do, once in a while, when he was a very little boy). ;)
The old Singer has been standing at home waiting for Anne-Sophie to need it. And so she did yesterday.
She is making a project at the architecture school, which needed just that kind of tool. Now I hope that having the sewing machine close by, will inspire her to sew again. She used to sew when she lived at home, but in recent years she has been too occupied by her studies.
The Singer was my very first sewing machine and a graduation gift from Christian. I still remember how happy it made me, when I opened the present. A gift he knew I would cherish and use a lot.
By now it's time that it starts a new life, with new hands operating the buttons and buttom thread - and another person who finds out about all the many funny advantages and - not so funny - disadvantages such an old machine has.
I know that it will do a good job, even though it has become a bit more yellow over the years.
I couldn't be more delighted about the new owner...I hope that she will get as many wonderful hours of creating with it, as I have had...
What a great gift you have for your sweet daughter!
ReplyDeleteThese old machines even if they may got more yellow over the years, they have something about it - more reliability for sure.
BIIG hug to you dear Ulla
I love that your sewing machine will go on being special to your daughter ... happy sewing Anne Sophie
ReplyDeleteSå bra at den vakre maskinen får leve videre. Jeg har selv 2 etter min farmor, som jeg ikke klarer å skille meg med, selvom jeg fikk ny symaskin til jul for 2 år siden.
ReplyDeleteKjolemønstrene unfer var så vakre. Nå går jeg på en mønstersmell...:)
Hi sweet Nina,
ReplyDeleteI know that my good old Singer will have a great new home with Anne-Sophie. I hope that she get to use it for a while. I'm sure that it has some years left still. :))
I wish that my mom had saved her old sewing machine - well the first one she had. It was so good and so trustworthy and it felt as if it was made of more long lasting materials.
I hope that you are doing fine all of you. It was so nice to hear from you. :))))
Oh, and do say hello to Juliane from me. I have thought about her too.
Take care, Nina and enjoy the autumn.
BIG hug to you. xx

So do I, Annie. :)) I would be sad if it had to end it's days with someone I didn't know.
I'm so happy that Anne-Sophie has shown an interest in sewing. She loves making something which others don't have. :))
I will definitely send her your sewing greeting. :)) Thta's sweet of you...
Oh, Månestråle du må have skrevet samtidig som jeg svarede på de to første!!
ReplyDeleteDet er så dejligt når symaskiner kan gå i arv. Tænk at du har hele 2 fra din farmor! Sikke en skat.
Min farmors gamle symaskine havde et håndsving, så hun kunne slet ikke finde ud af at bruge en elektrisk symaskine da hun fik sådan en. :))
Hej Ulla.I min pung ligger et neongult og et neongrønt fed broderigarn og venter. De to andre farver er i restordre, men forretningen vil prøve at rykke for dem. Nu mangler jeg bare en lille adresse og lidt håb, så lander de snart hos dig :O)
ReplyDeleteÅh, det lyder bare rigtig godt, Hanne!! Det sætter jeg virkelig så meget pris på. :))
ReplyDeleteOg det vil jeg bare glæde mig til. Jeg sender dig min adresse i morgen, og så må du sende mig en pris på det jeg er dig skyldig, for det skønne broderi garn. :))
Godnat og en god dag i morgen. :))
Hvor er den SKØN ! Jeg elsker gamle maskine, deres lyd og den sarte duft af olie.
ReplyDeleteHun må elske den OG så er pauser fra studiet top vigtige :-)

Det er en herlig gammel sag, Wenche og jeg tror også, at det betyder noget for Anne-Sophie at det var den hun lærte at sy på som barn.
ReplyDeleteDe er bare mere pålidelige på en eller anden måde, de ældre maskiner. Jeg håber at den fortsætter med at arte sig, nu da Anne-Sophie skal til at sy på den...
Hav en rigtig dejlig weekend.
