Sewing Machine New World Discovery

Once there was a young lady called Laura who had the brilliant idea to get a sewing machine, and when she moved on to other places, she left it here at casa. It wasn't being used much, mostly because people didn't know it was here. But then yesterday when Emma was using some needles and wires with her hand and when I mentioned sewing machine, her eyes grew wide and sparkled all over.

Now we got some more pillows fixed, and some clothes. And we will give the machine a nice spot for everyone to see it and use.

So, my project is officially a work in progress.

I bought a sewing machine from a junky today.
He found it in a canal, so it's sustainable.
Only, the junky was disguised as a sweet old man who owns a little shop in Weesp that specializes in selling sewing machines (as well as thread and zippers).

It is a 1969 PMC Lichtgewicht (a child of the 60s, probably a rebel in its time. and lightweight, about 20 kilo, so very portable, would probably be a good conversation piece while hitch hiking)
