One is in one of the cupboards in the craft room. The other has a sewing machine stood on it. <br /><br />The drawers look like a delight. I found a stick of diplomatic wax in mine! I hope you have a lot of fun with it. My 1907 Singer Ornamental will do the tough jobs which modern machines struggle with.Houseelfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06524577322507027554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1860005980116330908.post-69780718314878422742011-10-23T17:57:58.419-04:002011-10-23T17:57:58.419-04:00Beautiful Treadle!
