What happens when you tell the world that you’re looking for a sewing machine? Well, if you’re me and you have some of the universe’s coolest neighbors, you get a state of the art vintage Elna, in its case, with manuals and all the bells and whistles. The story behind this beauty is that its owner, who you may occasionally see riding around town on his Segway, bought it twenty years ago because it looked exactly like the one that his mother sewed his and his sister’s clothes with when he was a boy. He bought it so that his sister would no longer make fun of him for sewing with Singer. Ha! Anyway, this precious machine is much appreciated and will hopefully soon be whirring away in our studio. And the color couldn’t be more gorgeous.
