This little Singer was a charity shop find from about 5 years ago.
It's a Children's Chainstitch Sewing Machine, I have no idea how old it is, but it works!
It has been used occasionally by my little man between the ages of 4 and 7, mostly when I had my machine out.
For the last couple of years it has sat in his wardrobe being eyed up by his sister.
This weekend he finally said she could have it!
So on Sunday when I was trying to finish a kimono cardigan (it still isn't finished!) she decided that she wanted to sew too. Out came the machine and scraps of Merchant and Mills denim (she is spoilt!).
There are now scraps of sewing, straight stitch on top and chain on the bottom. The chains don't always catch each other and it has a habit of undoing when you take it off the machine. But she had fun making "blankets for her toys".
If you want to see the machine in action, check out the video on my instagram @dressmakerssocial
She now has her mind set on a dress for Bunnywunny and I'm off to draft a pattern for it. I don't think I will ever finish my kimono at this rate!
