Sewing machines

Okay confession time, one of my other great vintage loves is sewing machines, It started when I used to walk past a sewing machine shop run by an old man, who had a window full of old hand cranked sewing machines. At 13 I purchased my first hand cranked sewing machine (from that old man), a Jones, which I still have today. It has been joined over the years by several more, and two treadle sewing machines.

I do all my sewing on these hand machines.
