Sewing weather

I do believe fall is the perfect time for sewing.

Gorgeous photos. I love how you put the machine and human objects in nature. The machine and the case are just beautiful. The motif on the case is just exquisite.
What kind is it? How old is it? Do you sew with it?
Thanks for sharing.

Hi, I just love it!You are so creative. I love the machine. Looks like the one my mother had, and my brother sold on Ebay. It’s a great idea for the website, which I will continue to visit as often as I do for Sweet Sassafras. Planning to make the scarf, as soon as I can get this old sewing machine operational.

Summer in Arizona is GREAT sewing time. My sewing room is part-time guest room, so It is so hot then I never get visitors and can spread out all over the place. Also I don’t need to cook heavy meals as I do in fall/winter (more time to sew) I can sit in an old pair of shorts in an air conditioned room and sew sew sew. I’m not too crazy over the heat but the good side of the coin is all that wonderful sewing time.
