Vintage Sewing Machine Ads

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 ideaâ€¦)

You can find cool ads like these below at Adclassix– the specialist in original vintage advertising.
