My personal rule (in case you haven't figured it out) is "never turn down a free sewing machine." This Singer 66 (1930ish) must have looked to passersby like a boring old end table in the rain today, but I knew by the extra folded-in leaf that there was a treasure inside. Just look at those nearly-perfect Red Eye decals. The wiring is totally shot, so I may convert it to a handcrank someday. For now, it will have to linger with my many, many other pending projects.

Look at this beautiful #singer66. I am so excited to get it cleaned up and take it for a test drive 😁 #newtoys #vintagestyle #vintagesewing #vintagesewingmachine #artdolls #restoration #retro (at Birmingham, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CbNdAE-oqUO/?utm_medium=tumblr

So lovely to have this 1919 Singer 66k lotus back doing what she was made for. She's a bit of a clatterbug at the moment so some tinkering required to reduce noise a little, but look at those neat stitches - wow! #singer66 #singerlotusdesign #singersewingmachine #madeinscotland #sewingmachinerestoration #sewingrestoration #vintagesinger https://www.instagram.com/p/Caw8PbzN8bq/?utm_medium=tumblr

Miss Lotus 1919 is suddenly starting to look a lot better. Still work to do but she's not looking tired anymore! #singer66 #singerlotusdesign #singersewingmachine #vintagesinger #vintagesewingmachine #antiquesewingmachine https://www.instagram.com/p/CaqBxhyrTqH/?utm_medium=tumblr

Step two of the bentwood case restoration for Lotus is a treatment of @howard_products #restorafinish It really brings this wood back to life. Picture 3 shows just how dull it was! #singerlotusdesign #singer66 #sewingmachinerestoration #vintagesinger #vintagesewingmachine https://www.instagram.com/p/CapyoknrX1a/?utm_medium=tumblr

And that's the Hand Crank cleaned, lubed and rebuilt. This singer 66k Lotus is coming together beautifully considering she's 103 years old! #singer66 #1919 #sewingrestoration #singerlotusdecals #vintagesingersewingmachine #vintagesinger #sewingmachinerestoration https://www.instagram.com/p/CaIm13trk4N/?utm_medium=tumblr

Just the hand crank and case to go... Oh and a new bobbin winder wheel (all of which seem to have grown legs and gone into hiding) Lotus is looking good. #vintagesewingmachine #vintagesingersewingmachine #singer66 #singerlotusdesign #sewingmachinerestoration https://www.instagram.com/p/CaICGUeN3Im/?utm_medium=tumblr

New on the restoration desk is this lovely Singer 66 from 1921. The previous owner told me it was his grandmothers and she would want it to be cared for. I couldn't agree more. I love these lotus decals, which were only applied in Singer's Scottish factory. I can't wait to see them sparkle. #vintagesewingmachine #vintagesinger #vintagesingersewingmachine #singer66 https://www.instagram.com/p/CZB919wtNMJ/?utm_medium=tumblr
