Sewing machine make overs and accessories

 So I don't really don't know how to sew but I do mend things. I have 3 machines in my possession. One might ask what is my passion with them. I really couldn't tell you all I know is I love sewing accessories, buttons, drawers and machines.

One of the machines belonged to my mother which I made straight stitches but never experimented with any patterns. It broke quite often and at one point I just did not feel it was a wise investment to repair it anymore but I can't seem to get rid of it. The second one which I may still invest in repairing, I figured one day I would pull it out and make something but never have. The time has come to make a decision on which one stays and which one goes. The last one is one my oldest neighbors who gave it to me.

 It reminds me of my grandmothers that as a child would lie on the bottom and swing. This one will be taken apart to make a desk in the future if I don't sell it. I took all the drawers out because I use them to store mediums in. Recently I have sold 2 of them on Poshmark.ca in my closet bpagani, https://poshmark.ca/listing/Vintage-wood-sewing-drawer-627c3968ff83045008bbf973.

So here are some ideas that I came across on the internet

Carrie of Lovely Etc She explains how to dismantle it and convert it into a desk. While your there check out her upcycling projects. Most of them are from ordinary things that are put to the curb or sold locally dirt cheap.

these are my favorites

I am thinking this will be a project for next summer. 

I also have my great grandmothers woven basket from the early 1900's which is in poor shape but I still love it. I used to store threads and stuff in it but found from repeated use it was falling apart. Now it sits in my cabinet taking pride on the top shelf. 

I recently acquired a really cute little display rack with drawers. It is quite small but so darn cute. You can store buttons, snaps scissors and your thread goes on the top. It sold on Poshmark.ca.
