A Trip To The Sally Ann (aka Salvation Army)

My daughter has asked us to pick up candle holders as we may find them at the Sally Ann. 

 Well I hit the jackpot recently!  

I sent her photos to make sure they were what she was looking for. 

 I found 13 holders and some even had candles. ). 

0.36 each! 

SCORE!

I thought these were cute but she said no bueno. 

I also found THIS beauty!

It is a Singer 99K from 1955.  

She appears to be in pretty good shape and the cabinet is lovely.

She needs a bobbin cover plate and I need to get some bobbins for her.  

I found an original bobbin cover on eBay last night and will order bobbins for her today.  

I will spend some time this weekend cleaning her up.  

I have another one to clean up too, so will probably work on them both at the same time. 

 The other one is a Dressmaker.

I have had this one for awhile.  

She needs the bobbin shuttle and some bobbins too.  

I think I have a lead on those things so while I am waiting for them all to arrive, 

cleaning and oiling will begin!

Wish me luck.  I am pretty new to this but think that saving vintage machines is important.  

I don't have plans for the Dressmaker.  

Know anyone in need of a machine?

I have a couple of other Singers that need a good home too.  

They both sew well.  

Hoping to get these 2 to that point soon. 

I will keep you posted.

I did finish the dino on Thursday night.  

He is so Stinkin' cute!  

I have the next one to work on this weekend too.

I have three, count them three baby quilts to bind.  

Two are trimmed. 

I hope to get the third trimmed and the bindings sewn on all 3 of them this weekend. 

 Next up will be pillow covers for my daughter's home.

What are you working on this weekend?
