I must show off my recent thrifting score.
You are looking at a 1966 Singer Style Mate in a great, trapezoidal sewing table. She is in good condition considering her age. Her body is a bit faded and missing some easily replaceable items like a presser foot screw and presser feet, but she works for now! I can't wait to clean her up and take this baby for a spin! Here's how she looks when she's closed:
Groovy, right?
And here's a close up of the adorable blue sewing machine:

I suppose I should mention that I have a modern sewing machine. It's a Brother and it has way more bells and whistles than my cutie here. But does my 2009 model have this kind of charisma? Does it have her history? Does it have her gorgeous blue casing? No way! I'm so in love, I just hope she still sews properly. I'll let you know when I find out. In the mean time I will be getting to know my Style Mate's User Manual, which I was able to download for free at http://www.singerco.com It looks like you can get ANY Singer user manual from their site, which is extremely convenient.
Now that I'm finished gushing about my new toy, I wonder if anyone else still finds these vintage sewing machines charming. Do you have an older model? If so, do you use it?
