My mother was a very good seamstress and made all our clothes, curtains, even wedding dresses, and she taught me, but haven't sewn much of anything in years. I have her machines and some of my own. Would you believe I have 4 sewing machines, one is a treddle, and one serger. I'd have 5 machines, but one got lost in a move. That's bad to have so many and no time to use them. The one I have setup that I do use a little is one of mothers. It's over 40 years old, but such a good machine. Still get inspired and buy fabric from time to time, but it's in the drawer waiting for someday to come.
