I had a Singer just like the one centre bottom of your picture! It was almost as hardy as my Mom’s old treadle machine, which I also kept until 10 years ago! So what memories this photo brought back, as well as showing us, as Elizabeth say, a whole intricate world in there. Plus they do knife scissor and “digitizing” and custom sewing … and they certainly have the machines for it! I think you should definitely venture in. And I love the glossy patina of the reflections, all those clever machines preserved “under glass”!
I learned to sew on my mum’s treadle machine. My god, it’s like we’re Laura Ingles Wilder or something… (:
I’ll definitely wander in. See what these modern gizmos are like now. I hear they’ve gone electric.
Ah, what an extraordinary montage you’ve stitched together with your camera.
Oh I’m so glad you’ve called it a montage. I love that word.
And thank you!
Very cool shot, Carin. I’d love to figure out where you are standing to take the shot since there is no hint of you in the reflection!
I was shooting slightly up. Lucky accident.
Reflections on sewing machines! I like that you captured the tree reflection but can’t see you – very clever. I love the fresh green highlights.
It’s like the whole world is made of sewing machines… (;
This photo is fantastic. I love the high gloss of it, and the way it seems like a whole intricate world in there.
I have yet to venture inside…
