I have always loved vintage sewing machines. From the Pfaff that my mom had for eons that I learned to sew on to my current obsession- the Elna Supermatic! I have always felt that not only are older machines just made better, they are just so much more fun to sew on!
I also just adore the flashy advertising of these machines from yesteryear. I know they are so very sexist, but they do make sewing seem so magical and inspiring! (I guess that was the idea…)
You can find cool ads like these below at Adclassix- the specialist in original vintage advertising.
