Nähmaschinen-Skala

Ouf compliquer quand tu connais pas agréable journée.

Patrick - I see you've never sat at a sewing machine before

Oh aNNa, das Foto hättest du ohne Titel erstmal als Ratebild stehen lassen können.
Dann hätte ich wieder Punkte gekriegt. ;-)))

Kalli - Ich wußte ja nicht, dass du dich so gut mit Nähmaschinen auskennst :-)))

That all looks far too complicated for my tiny brain..........but a clever shot and very nicely detailed.

Keith - I notice you have never sat at a sewing machine - surely your wife can help you...
Otherwise I'm willing to explain the scale to you - then you can mend your pants yourself...:-))))

When I first joined the Navy in the late 1960's I was trained as a signalman........and in those days we had to make and repair our own flags.......so I was taught to use a sewing machine! It was nowhere near as modern as this one though and was powered by foot pedals.

oh yes, I know them too, my grandmother had a 'Singer'. oh yes, I know them too, my grandmother had a 'Singer'. It was a 'retractable' sewing machine, i.e. you could fold the sewing machine down/inwards - then you had a small table.

Our's were a little bit like the Singer, but larger and a bit more industrial looking. I can't remember the make. I certainly couldn't use a modern sewing machine, but my wife has a couple and uses them quite a bit.

Thanks aNNa..............I've seen your collage (and sewing skills) and already commented.

I shall tell my wife to save all our worn and torn clothes and we'll be sending them to you for repair :-)))

Keith* hahahahaha do you hear my loud laughter ????
I think my hourly wage will drain your salary so much that you'll end up using your torn things as cleaning rags ;-)))

It was worth a try :-)))

;-)))))))))))

Lovely machine! Great entry for this week's challenge

eunice - thanks for your nice words and the praise

how clever, it looks like a strange alfabet to me ...

Thta is like Chinese to me, I regret because it must be very nice to know how to sew !

Dear Isabel,
now you can see my work, how and what I used the stitches for. It took quite some time to make the pants old/new again.
But putting together the photo collage today and then putting all the pips and text under it was just as long work :-))))))

Excellente idée. Difficile de mieux respecter le défi .

Jean Pierre es gibt immer viele Ideen sie umzusetzen :-)))

Wahnsinn, da käme ich nicht mit klar! Ich habe selbst bei den primitiven alten immer nur die Nadeln abgebrochen;-)

hahahahahahaha .......

Ich bin zwar technisch nicht unbegabt, die Geheimnisse der Tasten einer Nähmaschine erschließen sich allerdings nur einer Frau ;-)
