I made a tiny sewing machine! It’s a Christmas present for my grandma, who loves sewing and quilting. The model is roughly 1/6th scale and mostly made of basswood, finished with acrylic paint and various metal bits. I based my design on a real vintage Singer model from the 1920s.

@racheldeesmith my 90 year old aunt still has a working one of these, belonged to my grandmother, they are very ornately decorated, not worth a lot as they were mass produced to a high standard of workmanship but still can't put a price on memories

@racheldeesmith Well done. My mom had one of those, the electric-driven version from the 1930s, that she sewed on all the te. One Christmas she sewed matching western shirts for me and my dad.

@bushbark @racheldeesmith I think Lehman’s still sells a machine that will go in the old cabinet. I do almost all my sewing on an old treadle. Off the grid quilt and clothes making!
