Finally, after working here and there over the course of a month or so I've completed the first in my series of Embroidered Sewing Machines! This sweet girl is a vintage model of course and I can just imagine how smoothly she ran. She's finally up on Etsy if you'd like to take a peek.
I'll be honest with you, I really wanted to create this embroidery in September during Sewing Month but there are so many things going on that it just wasn't possible. I did manage to squeeze in time here and there and finally finish this baby and I'm so happy with the results!
I looked through tons of pictures of Vintage Sewing Machines and this is one of the few that I chose (the others will be stitched up as well when I find the time).
Don't you love the pink thread peeking out? That's my favorite part ... how it looks like it's actually threaded through the machine.
I love it when things work out! Granted it might be a month late but in the end, it came out even better then I imagine. I'm putting the rest on hold though while I try to create some other embroidered hoops that have to do with a favorite movie series that's being released soon (name withheld purposely, lol). I think I'm just as excited about the movies release as I am finishing these hoops!
UPDATE: I'm having a giveaway for a custom hoop just like this ... check it out!
Wow, this machine is grand! I love the detail on the spool and everything. Great piece!

Hello
I was looking for a pattern from a vintage sewing machine to embroider, and saw yours.
Maybe you have the pattern for me?
Thank you very much
