Makes my heart flutter! When Grandma died, my Dad took her Singer and all to the dump. I was crushed he didn't ask if I wanted it. Since I had a "newer" Singer, he thought I wouldn't have wanted the old one. What glorious memories I have of Grandma teaching me on hers. Sigh
5660I have a lot of the same stuff. I have the Singer I learned to sew on-my Mom's-and really need to find someone close to take her to and see if I can use her. Don't see why not, a lot of older ones keep going. She was made in Elizabeth NJ, April1, 1941. A model 66. Just goes forward and back, but my sisters and I put a lot of on her. This is what I sewed my wedding dress with! And there's a knee thing you use instead of a pedal. I remember that fondly, at least it didn't skitter away from your foot.

32948You can make a necklace using the small spools. I made on just added a pretty ribbon and wear it to quilt shows or gild meetings.Be sure to add a clear glue to edge of thread to prevent them straying.

Gosh my spelling was bad!! Made one! Wear to guild meeting and I add fray check on ends of thread to prevent unraveling. You can make it any length. add buttons also . They'll be an attention getter.

Whatever you do DO NOT throw out the singer box. I have a Singer 221 and the empty box alone can sell for $35.00.

11759Carolyn, you have a great find at the thrift store, there is always something of interest in these places.Hold on to the wooden bobbins you will find a project for them they are hard to come by when you actually need one. Sandra.
24329Here is a picture of one made - I have had this pattern a long time so do not know if it is still available or not and do not know where it came from. I think it is so cute and maybe one day I will be able to ale it!
Just thought you would like to see a picture - his little tail is the end of the measuring tape that will pull out for use.
7384What a find! I have a very cute pincushion/ measuring tape holder sewing pattern that is the cutest little sheep but it takes two wooden thread spools for his "feet" and I have never made it because I couldn't find the wooden spools. So that would be one use for those. Probably many other cute projects too!
7384the threads are lovely, and you will find most of them in top condition as they were made when things were made 'properly'.

119790I agree, they wooden spools would lovely in a jar on display~hugs~
299557There lots of things that can be made with wooden spools-Google what to do with old wooden sewing thread spools. Pinterest has lots of pictures of things people have made. Have fun.
2745Those spools would look pretty in a jar or on a wreath
Hugs,
