My New Hobby

This is our new Singer 328K sewing machine. I saw it on Craigslist Sunday morning and decided to jump on it. It appears to be in great condition. The lady I bought the machine from said that she received it as a birthday gift in 1962.

We set it up in the girls room until I can get the garage situated. My nine year old daughter has pretty well claimed the machine as her own. I may end up buying another one for myself later.

The cabinet came with the sewing machine.

I found the instruction booklet and some extras in one of the cabinet drawers. I have no idea what most of the attachments are.

I've been practicing sewing straight lines and turning corners. My wife bought me a beginners sewing book from the 50's. I'm going to study it and concentrate on the basics for now.

If any of you are wondering why I'm writing about an old sewing machine on what is essentially a bike blog, it's because I intend to eventually make my own panniers and other assorted bags. Since I've never sewn before, this will take some time.
