A thrift store trip this morning netted a bag of rusty goodness. I thought it was cogs and gears and random stuff, but oh no! It was better than that!
Two rolled-hem feet (I think they're slightly different sizes, it's hard to tell)
A ruffler foot
Some mystery metal pieces that look like they might belong to a sewing machine somehow
And a very mysterious-looking foot. I have no idea what it is for, but I'd love to find out, if anyone knows!I have no idea what I'm going to do with them. I'd love to be able to resurrect the ruffler, because that would be a very handy thing to have around. I guess if they're beyond hope of reviving, there'll be some sort of assemblage art in their future, we'll see. At any rate, I was really excited to find them!
ooooo, I'm jealous! Especially over the ruffler foot. I'm thinking I may have to find one if our next baby is a girl.
ReplyDeleteThe picture after the ruffler foot . . . I have no idea what the curved things are but the straight one is an attachment for your scissors! to evenly cut bias (or straight) trim. Check this link for a picture and description of how to use and what the letters mean.

I also blogged about making my own since I hadn't been able to find one to buy: http://www.random-charm.com/?p=747
Very cool collection. I hope you can figure out what they are all for!
