Something else I collect
« on: February 26, 2015, 12:49:31 pm »
It may not be a man thing but I also collect sewing machines, but the earlier type such as this Leigh & Crawford. I just love the engineering on these fine pieces. Yes I have Singers mainly Featherweights so prized for quilt making and yes I do use them.

Good for you Wilhenri,

My dad was the sewing person in my house too.  Sad thing is I never really learn to sew well myself because it was so much easier to have him do it.  I still do a messy job even putting a button back on.

Another great item.

My cousin collects sewing machines and our dads could sew better than our moms (which they could sew great!)
