I got a new sewing machine yesterday. I found it at a thrift shop, and couldn't resist it. It is a toy machine that was made in England in the early to mid 1960's. It is a Vulcan Countess.
I learned how to use my vintage Singer buttonhole makers. I've been wanting to make a Mini Dresden Spool Pin Doily (from The Featherweight Shop). The pattern is free if you sign up for their email list.
I don't have the correct buttonhole template. I need the eyelet template. I made due with one of my oldest Singer buttonhole makers, and set it to the smallest buttonhole I could make with it. It will do. I did order the eyelet template, so that I can make a few more of these.

I have another one ready and waiting for the eyelet template to arrive.
Blogger is frustrating! I can only reply to comments from people that I have their email addresses. Everyone comes thru as 'no-reply'. How irritating! I like to reply to EVERY comment that I get. I appreciate all the comments that I get.
That is an adorable thread spool doily. I need to make one for my featherweight
ReplyDeleteThat is a darling doily! I totally agree that blogger is frustrating. It wants me to comment at anonymous. Weird!
ReplyDeleteI have two that are made but no eyehole template. Trying to figure out how to do the hole, so they sit unused. They are a lot of fun to make.
ReplyDeleteI love the spool doily! I have the pattern but haven't made one yet. It would be a nice touch on my Featherweight.
ReplyDeleteThat spool dolly is too cute!! I have a little crocheted one for my featherweight. Maybe I need one of yours for my Bernina. Lol
ReplyDeleteDar in MO.
I have a buttonhole attachment as well! Are you going to do a demo on how to use them on our vintage machines at the TOGA?
ReplyDeleteGreat find. I too am frustrated with Blogger. It is so sad we can no longer respond to comments.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful doily!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
