Especially those that didn't use electricity. I have a couple old ones but unfortunately they have made them go on electricity.

My dad could fix the worst of them too. I have one of the very early portable ones in pristine condition. Unfortunately they were so well made that there are lots of them still around so the value isn't very high.<br /><br />A little bit of a sprinkle won't hurt anything. We are having another beautiful morning here.JOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05658713978278693047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2474304103076898115.post-17242405168423576182013-08-24T08:44:28.995-05:002013-08-24T08:44:28.995-05:0039 this morning.

It's supposed to warm up to the 70s. <br /><br />We can thank the invention of the sewing machine for cheap clothes. Imagine how expensive handsewing would be.
