Last image from tonight (short film in the morning): this brother out here with his Singer sewing machine, gifting people a custom embroidery on their jerseys and hats with the name and the date, was more artistic than anything at Burning Man and ad gorgeous as a Caravaggio.

Magic!

Goodnight.

1. Isn't that fun?

I saw this yesterday. I lived in Manhattan for four years (back in the 70s) and all these Knicks videos have me wishing I could have been there for the celebration. New Yorkers really needed this. And I think it boosted the whole country.

2. How awesome is that! And that machine is very old, so he obviously knows what he's doing!

3. The machine probably belonged to whoever taught him to sew.

I imagine there are a lot of memories in that old sewing machine for him.

4. I still have my grandmothers old Singer.

It is in its original wooden case….an actual piece of furniture. I used to use it at her house!

5. My sister has our grandmother's old Singer

not electric. Had. Pedal. You used your own foot to power it.

6. Yup.... mine is a treadle.

I used it until the belt snapped. 😊

7. I have my mother's first sewing machine that she bought between the wars

The WW's, lol. I also have her second machine, which she bought when I was about 12. Soon I'll have at least two more machines, from my husband's mother's house. An embarrassment of riches, and I never have time to sew.

8. They sure built things to last back then!
