I am loving these illustrations from old Singer sewing manuals, again from the lovely rhiannonmars. I especially like the last one: Success. That’s always my favorite part. ;)
I’d like to imagine that I always look this poised when sewing. In reality, I’m usually wearing pajamas, have a mouthful of pins (I know, awful), and am occasionally muttering.
