Shopping Therapy

Sometimes, you just don’t know when you need a little bit of shopping therapy. Angie, Irene, and I stopped into the Golden Goodwill today after lunch and Irene found something I couldn’t resist. A 1951 Singer 301. For $25.00. Forget that I already have one of these machines, and I already have a total of 5 other machines that either sew, embroider, or serge. For the price, I couldn’t leave it behind. When we got back to the office, I threaded it up and it works beautifully. It needs a little work on the top tension, but I can do that.

I have a Singer sewing machine exactly like this one. I bought it in the early 1970’s at a yard sale, also for $25.00. I sewed all my kids clothes on it for about 20 years. It still works great. I will never part with it.
