Lovely capture of this beautiful machine. My mum had one and she made all the dresses for my two sisters and I on it. When we were older, in the sixties, we used it to make our own clothes, brings back many memories. I think one of my sisters still has it.

You need to 'borrow' it Sylvia and get the camera out, a wonderful piece of machinery

Wonderful retro image Janet. When I was very young my mum used an old treadle Singer machine for all her sewing jobs. Nice!

I remember my granny having one similar to this, and same brand. It was incorporated into a table with sets of drawers either side, and had a treddle near the floor in the centre to operate it. When not in use, it folded down so the whole top could be used as a table 😃
A lovely presentation here, Janet 👍

Thanks all.
My Nana used to have one with the treddle too, wherever it went I don't know, a wonderful thing with drawers and a big wheel at the side that I spent many happy hours playing with as a nipper.....hmm, a few trapped fingers if I remember the pain rightly

Smashing! Coincidentally, I have just put my sewing machine away having had it out to take up some trousers. Mind you it is a cheap plastic something-or-other, not a gorgeous thing like this.
Takes me back to the days of the 1940's when the radio, books and hobbies were normal - no televisions. Saturdays were a treat - mussels with bread and marg (butter being rationed) at Grandma's home. Mother played the piano, we read books, Grandma on the Singer treadle sewing machine making or repairing clothes. Such things are past memories and your picture recalls them to my mind.
