We remember spending hours watching our mother sew everything from clothes to quilts when we were younger. We truly learned the value of making do and mending what you have! We would have loved to have had one of these little machines to "make" our dolls clothes and curtains for our dollhouses! The machines come in 3 sizes and have working parts. Details and pricing after the jump!
 
 

Etsy seller WoodClinic and his wife, SillyCon Designs make their home on Vancouver Island. He enjoys creating an heirloom quality toy that has longevity and adds beauty to a room. It's no doubt that his creations will last a lifetime and then some.

Each machine is hand made and finished with non toxic oil, without the use of dyes, perfumes or additives. They are also FDA approved and are certified Kosher.
