Congratulations! I meant to comment on your earlier post about old machines.... I just wheedled my Mom's old Domestic 153 away from my brother and won a Viking 21E on eBay myself. I was starting to feel a little bit like I was slipping into mania, so it was reassuring to see that I'm far from the only one drawn to these old lovelies.
Congrats! You've inspired me to look into vintage machines. I'm currently stalking the most amazing machine I've ever seen on ebay. She is beautiful! Love at first sight. Wish me luck! :)
Oh how exciting, I can't believe you waited a moment to take a photo of the box. I would have ripped open the box as soon as that baby was through the front door!
I'm a native New Yorker and sewing fanatic! I started sewing in 2009 and today make all my own clothes using vintage sewing machines and vintage patterns, in addition to sewing for private clients. Welcome to the warm and whimsical world of Male Pattern Boldness, where the conversation is sewing, style, fashion, fabric, and more!
