Have you ever wanted to try out a treadle sewing machine? Do you wonder how hand-cranked machines work? Have a vintage sewing machine that you'd like to show off? Join us for an afternoon to celebrate the amazing technology of early sewing machines!
Bizz McKilligan, owner of The Green Thimble, will be your host for this event!
- At 1:15 p.m., Bizz will demonstrate 3 types of vintage machines (treadle, hand crank & Singer Featherweight), explain how they work and how sewing machine technology has evolved
- After Bizz's presentation, you'll get a chance to try out the three machines!
- Show off your own beloved old machine (no machines in tables, please!).
- Have a short consultation with Bizz on a vintage machine you have that isn't working properly.
Tea and treats will be served!
