    Wow nice shot! Upon seeing the picture I can feel an antique and classic feeling. I also remember our neighbor’s old sewing machine that we used to play with when we were kids.

    Good title pun intended ha ha. I do not know how to sew but it is a tedious art. I imagine this takes hours if not days to complete.

    My late grandmother used to have a sewing machine like that. She was a really talented seamstress and made cute and fashionable dresses for my small army of Barbie dolls. I also love the wallpaper design in that shot as well, looks like it was done in cross stitches somewhat. Clever use of a title you have here haha.

    Sewing is one of my favorites hobbies. This rusty sewing machine must had sewn loads of clothing many years ago.

    These old sewing machines were very durable. My dad had one when we were old, and up to to day its still there and in good shape.

    Only God knows how old this machine has been in existence. But from the look of its condition, it must be a few decades old.

    Where did you even find this sewing machine? Its very hard to come by such model, because it belongs to the old generation.

    Love the photo! I remember that my grandmother used to have a suing machine like this. I just love retro things. It feels homey to me.

    The photo looks really good from the lighting to the angles. Everything about the photo is perfect.

    It’s interesting that this sewing machine used electricity given how old it is. Most of the older ones were all mechanical.
