So I was going through my late mother-in-law's closet and guess what I found? Two old-school Singer sewing machines. These puppies probably weigh half as much as I do. lol.

After wrestling the first one the 300 yards back to my house down a hill and through the slush, I hooked my dog up to a sled (the Flexible Flyer kind, not the Mushing kind) and had him haul the other one in addition to some drapes I confiscated for fueling my other new-found obsession of corset-making.


So now that I have 3 Singers (though the third is fairly new, and not near as tough, but can still get'er done most of the time) I can see making a couple more kilts in the near future! Maybe I could even make 3 at a time...


Actually, as my family will be moving to New Zealand in a couple months, I planned on selling one of the old Singers and wanted the opinion of the rabble on what they think one would go for.
