I don't know how many times I admired it
That antique piece of machinery
Black with some silver and gold
A pedal that worked by knee
I saw her sitting there for hours
Sewing a patch on my old blue jeans
Making a fuzzy brown teddy bear
Designing dresses for my sister and me
Grandma looks happy as she sewed
She was in a world of her own
I remember her beautiful face
And how her eyes gleamed with delight
After showing us her latest creation
Memories of her cloud my mind
The sound of the sewing machine
Lives on in my heart
Along with Grandma's beautiful face

similar memories here. my grandma's sewing machine was a treadle in a beautiful cabinet. wish i had been wise enough to have kept it for myself.

So lucky to have such fond memories.
Both of my grandmas had Singer treadle machines and how I wish I had one of them now.
Emmy, schrijf je zelf alle gedichtjes op je blog? Wat een talent!
How beautiful. And is that a Singer Featherweight? The cloth you're working on is lovely, too. xo
Geweldig he, de Featherweight.... en hij RUIKT zo heerlijk. Geniet er maar van.
beautiful post Emmy....
Hello there! I could have sworn I've been to this blog before but after going through a few of the articles I realized it's new to
me. Anyhow, I'm certainly happy I came across it and I'll
be bookmarking it and checking back regularly!
