I have made a lot of progress even though this restoration project is a lot of work. After cleaning and glueing these wood ornaments look gorgeous. Still a lot of work remains with me French polishing the tabletop. #antique #restorationproject #singersewingmachine #antiquesingersewingmachine #ompelukoneenkunnostus #singer15

My new beautiful machine is now in pieces. Now I can work on both the machine and the cabinet simultaneously. The first seams have already got some glue. This time I made sure to bag all the little bits and pieces and label them to make it easier to rebuilt this giant puzzle. This far I have found only one screw missing and that is easy to replace. #antiquesewingmachine #sewingmachinerestoration #antiquesinger #singer15 #sewingmachine #treadlesewingmachine #ompelukone #antiikkinenompelukone #kunnostus #käsityö #kunhanharrastan #palapeli

She just moved in. Needs some love before I can use it for sewing but its in a fairly good shape. It is Singer 15 treadle machine. #singersewingmachine #singer15 #antiquesewingmachine #antiquesinger #ompelu #ompelukone #antiikki #projektiapukkaa #sewing

Finished making this Victorian bicycle sweater today. I had enough fabric left to make a matching beret, too! Check out my blog post for more info (link in bio). The mustard 100 % knit fabric is from @eurokangas_sello if someone wants to make something similar. #sewing #sewcialist #historybounding #historicalsewing #victorianfashion #1890s #sewingwithknits #sweater #pullover #hugesleeves #victoriansportswear #ompelu #sew #sewistsofinstagram #ompeluelämää #nähen #sy #couture #memade #historicalfashionnothistoricalvalues

I like to sew garments out of thick knits with yarn I unravelled from the same fabric so that it is the perfect match. Anyone else doing this? #sewing #sewcialist #sewingknits #sewingasweater #ompelu #ompeluelämää #villapaidanompelu #sew

Tried the twisted hair bun tutorial by @prettyshep

Tried the twisted hair bun tutorial by @prettyshepherd for my fine Finnish hair. Not as amazing as hers but still cute. Perhaps I should wrap my twisty braids less tight to add more volume? If anyone has good historical inspired hair tutorials for long fine hair, feel free to tag me! #hair #hairstyles #bun #finehair #historybounding #nuttura

My lighting now matches my sewing machine. I broke

My lighting now matches my sewing machine. I broke the glass cowl of the oil lamp yesterday but luckily the inner glass tube remains. I will find a new cowl at some point. #sewing #antiquesewingmachine #singer12 #oillamp #sewcialist #sewistsofinstagram #historybounding #ompelu #ompeluelämää #öljylamppu

Do you often notice the moment when your sewing project suddenly turns into a garment? I am often so concentrated on details that when I look at the whole thing in front of me it surprises me as I’m still expecting to see a mess of pieces, treads and unfinished edges. This is the last Christmas present I’m going to make. It’s a bath robe for my son. I’ll just need to add the belt loops and I’m done. #robe #bathrobe #sewing #sewcialist #Christmaspresent #sewistsofinstagram #ompelu #ompeluelämää

I have a big stash of ribbons, so I decided to use them to wrap my presents. It’s much prettier and I can reuse the ribbons. I had to create different bows to use longer pieces of ribbon as I didn’t want to cut any of them. #wrappingpresents #Christmas #joululahjat #lahjat #joulu

S has been decorating and baking for Christmas wit

S has been decorating and baking for Christmas with me. I made her a Karelian sarafan dress to match mine so that we can wear them together over the holidays. I think this became super cute! #feresi #sarafan #sarafandress #christmasdress #ompelu #ompeluelämää #sewing #folkdress #folkcostume #sewcialist #sewistsofinstagram #sewfun #historybounding
