Got this vintage sewing machine going again.
it was made in the 70/80's in the UK.
Ps, I'm not a trained sewing machine mechanic so I guess I just inherited the nack from my mother, Ursula Hynes.
Mum worked in Desmond's factory for many years, then spent some time teaching the girls how to stitch in the OMAGH YOUTH & COMMUNITY WORKSHOP, Castle street Omagh. Mum later headed back to Desmond's to be an NVQ sewing assessor.
Mum and I actually used to service the sewing machines in Enniskillen Tech!!! That was a nice memory to have β€οΈ
She won't see this as she left FB many years ago, but I love her very much and I thank her for passing on the mechanical side of sewing π
