My Grandmothers sewing machine is now mine
She has been sitting in my Aunts shed for many years and now has come to live with me
My grandmother was born in 1900 and died in 1938 leaving behind a nine year old... my Mum
and her sister aged 4
I googled the serial number and this Singer was manufactured in 1910 in Clydebank Scotland
Fitting I think that it is now mine as Iam the only grand child who sews and I was named for my grand mother.
The unusual spelling of my name Illene obviously dates back many years
Iam very happy to have my grandmothers machine in my home
wow Illene........what a special machine to have.........hope you are thinking of who you will pass it on to..........has it been used over the years?
ReplyDeleteLucky you...that's so fitting and such a lovely old machine. :0)
ReplyDeleteHi Illene... wow, amazing for you to have this sewing machine of such history & sentiment
ReplyDeleteHow special to have your Grandmother's machine.
ReplyDeleteWow Illene such an awesome gift,it will be well loved living with you,enjoy your day my friend xx
ReplyDeleteVery, very special treasure. Glad it came home to you xx
ReplyDeleteHello Illene,
ReplyDeleteThe family heirloom is wonderful. Hope you get to have many hours of sewing on it. I was given a base like this many years ago from a friends backyard. I made up a jarrah top and it is in my entrance.
Happy days.
Bev.
I'm glad the machine is in the hands of someone who will cherish it. My mother had a little motor fitted to her mother's old machine and my sister who does a lot more sewing than I do still uses it.
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful...

ReplyDeleteHow wonderfully awesome! It is so lovely that you now have it and that it shall be cherished. So many of them were refurbished as tables much to my horror. How sad that your grandmother died so young.
ReplyDeleteYou are so lucky. I would love to own one of these beauties.,it sure is a treasure
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful Illene. AND it's the very same as my grandmothers...
ReplyDeleteShe was born in 1899...
So sad that your grandmother died so young too...leaving young children. :(
