It's a Wonderful Life with an idea to finally buy a sewing machine. Well, it took me several months, but I finally went out and got one.

I present, my vintage Kenmore Model 1947 Sewing Machine! (Original manual and parts included)

| Awesome original box of supplies, manual, and troubleshooting guide. |
I'm super duper excited to start using it. I just have to decide which of the many projects I have lined up to make first! (On the list is piggy beds, a tea pot cozy, a draft stopper, a Nook case, and a circle skirt.)
You know what would be fun? If you made me some clothes.
