Standing still this antique sewing machine by builder _Pixeljunkie_ is charming enough, but when you see it in motion it's just magical. Generally speaking we don't feature LEGO Ideas projects here on the blog, but I fell in love with this MOC before it was launched, so I'll make an exception. Plus I've been thinking a lot about sewing recently (yeah, real men sew) so it seems appropriate.
A venerable classic household machine build from a venerable classic children's toy, it's a home run of nostalgia right here. Of course you know this is a vintage Singer sewing machine, everybody knows that, it's like the McDonald's arches, it's just...known. Builder EugeneTTs not only nailed the aesthetic of this machine, he built a small collection of the items you always saw with one. A bolt of fabric is all you'd need to start crafting a trendy wearable, costume, or an infinite number of things that need stitched.
This is one of those times I refreshed the Flickr feed and stopped cold saying "whoa". This old time Singer by 6kyubi6 is perfect, just perfect. Yes, as I've revealed before I know how to use a sewing machine. I don't do it much any more, but at least once a year I'm breaking out the machine and stitching away. Mine doesn't look like this, but works in pretty much the exact same way.
