THE SOUND POEM

Thunder
from clouds
hanging low
over the volcanoes

The up-down-up
of a sewing machine’s
treadle & needle

Rain
upon a tin roof

Pfaff creative 7550 sewing machine

31 years ago I bought this baby.

I paid it off over two years.

It cost more than my first 3 cars together.

My Mom asked me, until her death in '97, probably 1000 times about the price. I never told her, I didn't dare. lol

Antique toy sewing machine.

Happy Sewing Machine Day! 👏🥰🧵

This pretty antique toy sewing machine is exactly like one we had when I was a little girl.

My sewing machine design, which I've used in several patterns, was inspired by this loved machine.
