My New Love - 1970 vintage sewing machine
I've been popping into the Bric'n'Brac store at Hackney Downs every now and then to keep an eye out for a sewing machine, and last Tuesday was my lucky day! I know it's taken me nearly a week to finally put some photos up of it, but I've been a bit distracted by it. I do really love it!
It's a Jones Deluxe (it doesn't matter that not many people have heard of it). It comes with the original purchase warranty (1970), original manual, all sorts of presser feet, bobbins and looks like it has hardly been used.
