Gold Trek dresses! Teaser pic!

[theressa]

Hi Everyone,

Found a limited amount of material for the gold yeoman dresses.
I was gonna wait until I had made one before I posted, but had to share.
Been trying to get close to the original color for sooooo long and couldn't wait!

If anyone is still interested, PM for details!

Thanks for looking, Theressa

[Hotfoot]

Looks pretty close to me.

That material looks bang on, T.

I can see you are going to put that new machine to great use T!

Umm, heh, its still in its box. Still got the love for the ol' Singer!

[sprytel]

Looks great to me. Hope you stocked up!

It is so nice that Theressa's sisters bought her that machine! It will come out sooner or later and be put to some good use!!

Yeah, sooner or later
From what I seen its got pros and cons. Can use a double needle set up, but might not handle vinyl or leather.
Its a full size Brother limited ed. Project Runway.
I'm soooo used to this old Singer. Make adjustments on the fly, so to speak.
I recently picked up a straight stitch plate for it. When I put it in (humor to a minimum, please) that I put a note right above the slider for the zigzag! Once in a while I'd just flip that switch to zigzag, so didn't want to without changing the plate.
Tell ya, sewing its much nicer now. Stitches are better and little material hang ups.

I'm working on a gold dress now and hope to post it soon.

Project Runway

I actually watch that, because Dafne watches it of course

What number Singer do you have?

I have a Singer 401a, and it works beautifully! It may be 40 plus years of age, but it runs like a dream, and so much better than the so-called 'modern' Singer that I have.

I have a 327k. I was so thrilled when I found this plate NOS!
Looked for a few years, then gave up. Got one of those eBay suggestions for buying stuff. So I looked and nabbed it!

[PNGwynne]

Wow T--that's a perfect Mego marigold color. Congrats!!!

I've been iso a synthetic knit in that color for years...

[theressa]

Thanks Scott!
And as hard as I looked for something like this color? It just about jumped up and bit me!
I didn't know it was this close until I compared it to Kirk.

How much did you get, and how much did you pay for it?
