My Singer has a starring role in the posters for a Flamenco show, along with  my hands and one of my dresses!

OOO! looks good!
I have learnt by my mistakes: Sewing machines now are Bernina 720, Bernina 1008, Bernina 801 from 1981, Brother overlocker, ancient but works well

Very impressed - hope it's not gone to your head too much!  :D
Hopefully back more regularly! Ballroom sewing may be permanently paused but bag making is the current focus.

Won't have gone to catllar's head.  But her machine on the other hand... it even has a smiley here!!  :vintage:

Lovely poster (and lovely dress!)  Do you use the vintage Singer to make your costumes or is it a gorgeous sewing room ornament?

I use it to make dresses that don't need  fancy stitches - most of my flamenco stuff has a degree of stretch in it and as my  :vintage: only does straight stitch I don't use it.  The bits of fabric under my hand on the photo are cotton so they were fine on my old lady.

The dress on the dummy is  a flamenco influenced wedding dress , not designed for dancing - all lace and muslin cotton .
