We went to the thrift store to look around because we were bored. I spotted this lovely sewing table and machine. I snatched up for a whopping $30, how could I not?!
The machine (a Singer 401A) still runs great and after I googled it, I found out the machine is actually desirable in the vintage sewing machine crowd and considered one of the best Singer ever made. Apparently I stumbled on to something awesome!
As an extra bonus the drawers weren't empty, and included some of the original feet and accessories.
And some other random stuff like thread.
And knitting needles! I can always use more of those. lol
As lovely as the desk is, it just doesn't match the rest of my craft room. So I gave it a little make over with some fresh paint and some new drawer pulls.
Much better!
The machine is still in need of a thorough cleaning and could probably use an oiling since who knows when that was last done. But I fixed the tension issues and now I can sew on it if I want!
Wow that was a fast makover! Looks great!
