Projects For Vintage Sewing Machines Guide

A vintage sewing machine is a reliable, dependable sewing machine that stitches beautifully and will last you a lifetime. While it looks beautiful, it is meant to be used. With this in mind I created the course Use Your Vintage Sewing Machine to give you the opportunity to both use your vintage sewing machine and also create something practical for your vintage sewing machine.

Some people are not interested in watching video tutorials and just prefer to read the information so we are offering the guide from the course as a separate purchase. The guide includes instructions on:

  • Table Topper  – Learn how to make a table topper that you can use to protect your machine or the cabinet it came in with step-by-step instructions.
  • Featherweight Bed Extension Cozy -  Learn how to make a cozy to protect the extension bed on the Singer Featherweight 221 or 222 model machines.


The guide Projects For Vintage Sewing Machines Guide is a downloadable ebook in PDF format that contains information that you'll refer to again and again.

Here is a sample of what is included in the guide:

I talk about vintage SINGER® sewing machines in the guide. The concepts that I teach you will apply to any vintage sewing machine but I prefer to focus on SINGER® because of the number of machines and spare parts that are available. I would recommend that anyone who is just starting to purchase vintage sewing machines limit their search to SINGER® sewing machine models.
