This is an identical machine my mum had, so that is what has inspired me
for my 'looking back in time"
On my project I used my Darkroom door stamps,
some from a collage and the sentiment from Darkroom door as well.
An antique overlay was placed over my card to give it
that aged effect.
Love to see what you create as well, and please have a look at what the
design team has made and view our prize as well..

Great vintage card Annie...yes my Mom had a machine just like that too, we used to get in trouble for always pushing the treadle on it lol...this challenge sure brought all of us back some memories!!

This is gorgeous Annie. I love the sepia look. I went into a cafe when I was away in November and they had used the tables of the old Singer machines as their tables with a sheet of glass over the top. The whole of the cafe was very quaint.

Just perfect Annie - and so many memories of my Gran who had a Singer Treadle machine for many years! x
You've created a fabulous card for the theme Annie, image design and colours all give this card a wonderful vintage look.
I taught myself to sew on a machine that looked very like the one on your card, I was 19, newly married and money was tight...someone gave it to me, it worked perfectly but had to be operated by hand, so this card brought back memories for me too!

another beauty!!!
I love this theme and card. Both my grannies had sewing machines like this, one had a crank handle and the other had a treddle. They always fascinated me.

Fabulous card, Annie! There's nothing more vintage than an old pedal sewing machine. I have one like this also that I purchased years ago at a yard sale. I love to sew, but eyesight doesn't allow for the tedious work any more.
Gorgeous card with the vintage parts and colours! My mom had a slightly more modern one, but I learned sewing on just such an old Singer sewing machine with a pedal :) which had been my grandmothers.
I remember my Nan having a machine like this Annie. Your card is fantastic a great trip down memory lane.

BEAUTIFUL creation Annie! YEP we had a Singer treadle when I was a kid and it got a real work out with my Mom having three girls and my older sister & I were in dancing class from the ages of 3 & 4 ... Mom made all of our costumes. Again ... awesome card ...thanks for the memories!
That image is stunning and I just love the Vintage overlay on your design! Haven't really seen too many of these older machines, but I think my grandma may have had one. Great quote too!! :) HUGS
This certainly takes me back and it's beautiful in every way. Love the antique overlay. The sentiment with this is wonderful! I learned to sew on an old Singer like this, operated by pushing with your knee. My first sewing machine was an old Singer built into an ornate table. Lift the lid and the machine rises up. This challenge is going to bring back a lot of memories for everyone!
Just love the vintage look, so beautiful. Great take on the theme.
Hugs, Lisa
WOW this is fabulous, love the sepia, I have my mother in law's old sewing machine, I can't sew but wont part with it.

My Mother also had the same machine and came from a family of seamstresses, in Malta. It certainly brings memories back to me. Great detail and love the vintage look. Hope you are keeping cool my friend. Big hugs, Carol S.xxxx
Sorry I forgot to thank you for linking this fantastic card with us at Try it on Tuesdays.

so wonderful!
Wonderful vintage card Annie. I remember my Grandmother having a sewing machine like that also. Love your layout.
Nostalgic look back in time as my Grandmother had one of those stand alone Singers too. The Iron on the frame work was so intricate. My first singer sewing maching at the age of 16yr was the same as the one on your card. It was so heavy to lift on and off the kitchen table with the wooden box it sat inside. I made my Wedding dress on it.
Those were the days!!! Hugs Mrs A.
Oh my, when I was a baby also my GrandMother had a Singer exactly as that one of the clipart!! Such sweet memories!
Your card is awesome, such fabulous vintage look and that sentiment is really impressive and so true...!! Great inspiration!
Big hugs and big congrats to Carol!! :)
Beautiful as always!!!
Gorgeous card and great inspiration, Annie. My mother has such a sewing machine and I love it!!! Kisses, my friend.
Stunning card and vintage images Annie..Loz
I just love the old sewing machines, and I like the collage you have made with this!
I can't believe it took me so long to get here, because this is definitely one of my very favorite spreads you have created. This is a pure gem with the sewing machine at the center of it all.
Beautiful vintage card Anneke

A beautiful card Annie - my Mum also had a treadle singer, but it was a model that was particularly heavily made, and she was able to have a motor fitted to it - did that machine ever put in the hours of work -it was amazing what she made on it. She was also able to purchase an accessory that made button holes - very progressive at the time!

Your card looks so real, just like vintage film. Great take on the challenge. My grandmother had a sewing machine like this. I sued to play on it until I sewed my finger. I remember that day well.
Awesome Vintage Vibe here, Annie! Love the image AND that wonderful sentiment--it is fantastic!!!
Wonderful vintage looking project and what great memories for you x
This is such a great vintage card! Super in this old colours! Hugs, Gerrina

What a wonderful surprise to see I'm your winner! Thanks so very much Annie, I'm just delighted :) This sewing machine reminds me of my grandmother too - she spent so much of her time either sewing or crocheting things and I still have a lot of them in use today :) Great vintage make!
Just gorgeous aNNie. So perfectly vintage.
Oh, I just adore this card. I learned to sew on a machine just like that, so it really makes me smile. Great take on the challenge, I love the vintage-y look!
