My Pfaff sewing machine pre-motor transplant.

Along with it’s brand spankin’ new motor that I need to install. The motor is HEAVY. Stay tuned for the harrowing updates of my transforming a 220V factory set-up to a 110V home operation. I also need to create a knee-lift for the presser foot.

I started a trend. My brother and sister are both getting machines too. I bought them cheap from my old employer, a jeanswear maker. They used to sew prototypes…not anymore…it’s all done in Hong Kong and Mexico now. Sad. BUT,  nobody in America wanted to pay more than $30 for a pair of jeans. So, they sold all their machines.

It will be great to sew at home now! Although my day job employer’s machines are there for a back-up. My boss lets me use the company machines. He rocks.

So, my baby is home and in a few days I’ll be ready to sew at bunch of new Re-Velo bags. I have LOTS of ideas for new stuff. Subscribe to my RSS feed and you’ll be the first to see what I’m up to.
