Have you seen this video? I thought it was adorable. A man takes video of his landlady's sewing room.

I thought it was adorable Date: 3/24/12 7:18 PM I thought this man was so cute (albeit sewing clueless) as he marvels over every detail of this 94 yr old woman's sewing room. He's there to do laundry but gets very fascinated by her setup. I laughed out loud. This guy is adorable, with his words for things... Like ecomically/ergonomically. Love this guy & his 94yr old seamstress friend. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l6Em4SkfmkY&feature=youtube_gdata_player posting from my phone & it's not working quite right with the link. Maybe you've all seen it, but it was new to me. (Yes she knows about it and it is OK with her) -- Edited on 3/25/12 11:22 PM --

So, what kind of a machine is it and is it a treadle or an electric that has been placed in a treadle base? video -- Edited on 3/24/12 7:34 PM -- ------ Marilyn January 2009 to January 2010 81 yards out and 71yards in January 2010 to the present 106.7 yards out and 146.5 yards in. January 2011 to the present: 47 yards out and 69 yards in.

Maybe an expert will pipe up with more detail. The only cord I could spot was for the lamp. The machine itself seems in good shape for being so old. I love all her stuff. I wish I was there in the room for a tour:-) maybe Francis is a PR member :-) (Also, thanks for fixing the link. I couldn't see it 'til now when I logged in on my laptop.) -- Edited on 3/24/12 9:04 PM --

Date: 3/24/12 7:51 PM In the little video it looks like a older industrial machine. It has the belt with the geardown ratios to the side of the machine. At 94 and stills sew. Gotta love it. ------ Galatians 5:22-23 The Spirit produces love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, humility, and self-control. There is no law against such things as these

The thing that looks like a treadle peddle is to control the motor. The knee bar is to lift the presser foot. I thought he was sweet, and certainly has a lot of admiration for his landlady. ------ Pat in Rockport, TX "As ye sew, so shall ye rip." http://community.webshots.com/user/pknord http://www.quiltingthoughts.blogspot.com/

She is not in the video but she's my hero and good for him for appreciating her. Yes, that's an older industrial with the knee lift. She seems to like making dolls and check out the pattern tacked to the wall. I want to be 94 kickin' and sewing. ------ http://silkmothsewing.blogspot.com/
