Upholstery Sewing Machine!!!
So I didn't get to go to many sales this weekend but I did score big at one (out of the three I went to). I went out Thursday to a rummage sale that had advertised an upholstery sewing machine, I dont really have the room for it but wanted to check it out anyway. They were asking $150 for the machine and a bunch of other stuff...They didnt have it outside but had some picuters...I passed it up but went back on friday ten min before they were closing up to see if it was still there and it was! I offered her $60 and got it!!! I didnt realize how much stuff this machine came with until we got it home. I got a good size box of nails/tacks a box of button parts to make fabric covered buttons (theres hundreds of these things!! Milo calls them money hehe), a handy junior button maker with pieces for differnt sizes (not sure how many yet, at least two), ? yards of lime green vinyl, ? yards of...welt cord?, ? yards of pli-grip metal strip...I think thats about it...All for $60 I cant believe it!!!

Ah-hah! That is why you are cleaning out your garage today! You will have your own little upholtery studio out there! Just in time for it to get cold of course, hehe. Resin molds look great, if they are functionable then who cares how they appear! Great score for $60 and I hope you make some cute fabric covered buttons!
Thanks!! I thought I told you about it!! Well maybe I forgot to mention that I bought it hehehe
Yup Ill be in the garage all winter any chance I get, upholstery and resin projects!!!
WOW! Great find -- and what a fantastic deal :) This is wonderful for your reupholstery projects, and it looks very heavy duty. I can't wait to see the fabric covered buttons and what you'll do with the reupholstery projects!
Thanks! Im starting another job this monday so I'll be booked 12 hours a day 6 days a week...hopefully Ill still be able to get my crafting in!

Hi Amanda, first off thanks for following my blog :)
That is a serious piece of kit!! Did you know that your machine started life only 10 miles away from me here in Scotland, how strange is that?!
I'm in awe of your upholstery skills, the chaise are wonderful.
