A new (old) toy
February 5, 2010
My mom’s old reliable Viking needed a new home when she decided to replace it after probably 30 years. I was thrilled to offer it a space in my sewing corner. I have many memories of laying awake at night and listening to the whir of this machine as she sewed down the hall from our bedroom.
My old machine only sewed a straight and zigzag stitch. I couldn’t even drop the feed dogs to sew a buttonhole. So, what does one do when they suddenly have a machine that can do more than 40 different stitches?
PLAY of course!
I am in love. Thanks Mom!

Is this the legendary sewing machine that only sews in reverse?
Well, yes. But that’s not a big deal, right? I can just sit behind the machine. Hee hee. Kidding, they had it repaired. =)
It sews hearts?! That is flipping cool.
