A Little Background

I never thought of myself as a sewing machine collector. I had different machines which did different things and I used them all. But when I moved into a new house I needed to decide what the sewing room would look like. I started looking for inspiration on Pinterest. Most of the storage items I had were white so I went with that idea. The image to the left was my inspiration.

I needed to arrange the machines where they would be easily accessible but just as easily put away. Realizing my machine cabinets were not white, I decided to find some stick-to-anything white paint. The experiments took a while since what worked for wood didn't always work for laminate. In the end, I came up with places for the machines in their (mostly) newly painted cabinets. 

All was well in the sewing room until... I found a Singer 222K online for $800. It came with everything and was in perfect condition. I certainly didn't NEED it but I really really wanted it. When it arrived I decided to take a picture of my Singer machines together. That was the beginning of the collection. More to come.
