Keeping it in the family

I've spent a lovely few hours over the last couple of days restoring my Grandma's old sewing machine to make up the covers and bags for the Popsy Moo range.

A fantastic old machine that will probably run until my grandchildren are grown up, I got the manual as a PDF file and sorted out a few tension problems and gave it a good clean.

I have my mum's (probably better) more modern machine but I love using this one, it feels very reliable and substantial.  I also love the link with my Grandma, a woman I admired, respected and loved deeply, and it always gets a little wipe over and caress when I finish using it.
