In honor of National Sewing Machine Day, here are some photos of my latest sewing machine. I got this machine back in April, but never posted any photos. This is a 1950 White Rotary Series 77. It is in a lovely desk/cabinet.

I have been stitching, too. I made 4 pin cushions.
I also made a mini Penguin quilt.
I finished two more Ukulele's for someone else (his wife and his sister in law).
I also made a dress for my granddaughter and a matching one for her doll.
The dress was from material that was already smocked and layered. All I had to do was to stitch the seams and add the straps.
Now to get the dress in the mail.
I did get the last baby quilt quilted, but I still have to sew on the binding. I also got 5 game board quilts basted.
You have been one busy lady.
ReplyDeleteThat machine strikes terror in my heart. I tried to fix one for a guild member and foolishly removed the tension to try and fix. Yikes, a nightmare to put back together. A women from the White forum sent me photos and I put it back together and will not touch another one.
ReplyDeleteI just have one with the motor don't work for many years, any recommendation about this? Thank you!
DeleteJuli, first, you are no-reply, so I can't contact you directly. Replacement motors can be bought for these vintage machines. You need to find someone in your area that will work on vintage machines. If I knew where you were, I might be able to help you find someone.
DeleteWow, you have been busy. I thinking the matching dresses are so sweet.
ReplyDeleteYou are making good use of your time!!! Lots to show for it. I saw a similar desk cabinet recently. Had a machine too... but decided I didn't want or need to add anything to the plate at the moment. I have enough to do!!!
ReplyDeleteyou are getting things done. no room for machine either. I haven't got much sewing done been doing yard work.
ReplyDeleteHappy Sewing Machine Day! I'll celebrate by giving my machines the day off and tackling the sewing room mess. You've been very productive!
ReplyDeleteYou have had a very productive week! I love the matching dresses, she is going to love them too! Love those little 'PIN' cushions. I didn't know there were 2 National SM days, very cool!
ReplyDeleteYou've been busy--love the pin cushions!
ReplyDeleteThat is a great cabinet. I've never seen a used needle holder before. What a great idea!
ReplyDeleteMy mom still has her original white portable. I don't know what kind, but I remember learning to sew on that one! It made the most perfect buttonholes because it had the cams...and I had to hope that my buttons fit the cam sizes!! Good luck with the sale.
ReplyDeleteNice White Rotary, especially the MCM cabinet! Great pinnies and the new ukuleles are perfect!
ReplyDeleteWhat a neat machine, and the cabinet and treasures are fabulous. Cute dress, with a matching one for her baby.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for my penguin!
ReplyDeleteI have this exact machine! Just wondering how much you think the machine is worth?
ReplyDeleteMachines are only worth what someone will pay for them. I got this machine for free.
