    Did you know that Singer makes a modern machine that is treadle driven? I don't remember what they call it (and I'm blocked from their website as I'm outside of the USA) but I know that they are really popular amongst the Amish and with many people that live off grid. It's a simple modern machine with all the stitches and other features you'd expect, but you use a treadle to power it rather than electricity. You can fit it to most vintage treadle bases.

    Such a heartwarming video. I am so glad I learned to sew because my mom was also a sewist. I had not sewn for many many years (40)and recently picked it back up. Mama has passed away now & I can feel her looking over my shoulder as I sew. It is beautiful how we had sewing and other things to bond over. I regret not learning to crochet though.

    I'm in Australia, Mennonites are not very common here. Your Mum is just gorgeous! Back in the early 1908's, my siblings and I bought our Mum a brand new sewing machine. The only boy in our family went through the complimentary lessons, and taught his mother and 3 sisters how to use the machine. I was so proud of him!

    I think my mennonite grandma probably used the same dress pattern for 30 years. Before that it was a different pattern that had probably been used for decades as well. The difference was that at some time in the 1970s she started using poly doubleknit for dresses instead of more traditional woven cloth. No doubt she thought the poly was more practical! Regardless, her dresses, only in those 2 styles, looked like they had been designed in the 1930s. Thanks for this video with your mom. I really enjoyed it.

The woman who owns my local haberdashery is using a similar Singer machine hers isn't as old or in it's own table, but she absolutely loves the way it stitches.

    I love the videos you've made with your family members, y'all are too funny!
    Growing up, my parents had a grandmother or neighbour making all their clothes on Singer machines like your mother's. They've talked about how fun it was picking out fabrics and going in for fittings, and the nostalgia now having me sew for them. It's been useful taking my parents fabric shopping since they know a lot about fabrics and have great taste. But when I was making a shirt for my mom for the first time, it was a loose fit with strap sleeves, my dad was adamant on his choice of a sparkly swim fabric! It ended up being pretty nice for the beach! 😂
