 1 member likes this. It'a Singer 15 clone machine. Do you think the paint job is original, or is it a custom job? Myself, I'm in love. Who wouldn't love a lavendar machine? ------

Hmm. There is one on the 'net but it's hot pink and it also is in NZ. Can't get just that pic so I had to include all the pics in the Google search for Jasmine sewing machine:

Date: 10/30/11 2:04 AM Thank you for pointing out the pink one.
The seller of this one says she has had 11, but the seller of the purple one (lavender) says only 4 were imported to NZ.
Very interesting, I imagine they were imported from the UK. ------

Date: 10/30/11 2:35 AM Hmm. Wonder if the seller has any more lavendar ones? I get first dibs if she does!! Also wondering what shipping and all would be. I just love it. Have to remember to e-mail the seller tomorrow. Unless you feel like asking her if she has any lavendar ones :D. I'm too tired to do it tonight! |

Date: 10/30/11 4:14 PM Wonder what the shipping charges to the US are? Given what I pay for patterns from Australia, probably way out of my budget! ------

Date: 10/30/11 7:15 PM I doubt that many people are currently using these machines, but it is interesting that these ended up in NZ.
Would be interesting to know the story. ------
