Elna

Another raid on my wife's sewing equipment..!!

I bought her this sewing machine when we lived in Malta..........as a present for our first wedding anniversary. We will have been married for 52 years next month..........and she still loves it (and me hopefully)! The patterns in this image are from the same period.

She used to make clothes for herself and our two daughters when they were young. Nowadays it's kept mainly for making repairs!

A great sewing gear image, Keith. My late wife bought an Elna (I think the model before this one) shortly after we were married, it was a great machine.
Well done on identifying the sunshine recorder.

Für 52 Jahre schaut auch deine Nähmaschine noch richtig toll aus lieber Keith,da hat sie euch sicher was abgesehen,ich freu mich,dass ihr diese gemeinsame Zeit noch immer verbringt,das passiert heute leider nicht mehr so,das so zusammen gehalten wird und wenn man deine schöne Vorstellung dieser Nähmaschine sieht,da kommt auch diese Freude rüber,toll hast du das wieder umgesetzt und sie hilft euch heut noch bei Reperaturen :))

Wünsche noch einen schönen Nachmittag,liebe Grüße Güni :))

50+ years and still going strong!! You made a lovely and stylish still life.
I'm hopeless with sewing machines, the only thing I manage is to break the needles- so hats off to your wife!
