I won Vintage Singer Zigzagger 160985

I love my Singer 15-91, but I really need zigzag, coz I want to do FOE on my diapers and trainers, but I can't do it, because FOE requires zigzag.  So I have been looking for Singer Zigzagger on ebay and thrift stores.  I lost the bids on ebay every time, and I have no luck to find in thrift stores or flea markets.

And this afternoon, I finally won the ebay auction for the zigzagger.  YEAH!!!  I can't wait to get it and play with it.  It comes with 4 decorative stitches cams.  The best part is I only paid $3.75.  I hope the seller will ship it tomorrow, so I will get it by next Wednesday. 

I am so excited!!!  I can't wait to sew!!!!

Here is the zigzagger I won:

My new toy "White Super Lock 534"

I finally got my new toy "White Super Lock 534".  I have been thinking to make some baby clothes and diaper to sell, but I hate that the seams look so unprofessional, I really wanted to have a serger.  I have been looking for serger for a while, I planned to get a vintage serger, coz I have more confident in the quality, just like my old Singer sewing machine 15-91, it was made in 1949.  But I love it.

I looked at Craiglist and Ebay, my budget is $75 (after shipping), I found several vintage sergers like Juki, White, Singer etc.  Of course, I lost the auctions.  But then 2 days ago, my hubby told me that he found one serger for sale in Craglist and it is White 534 and for $75.  So we called the lady immediately, and my hubby picked it up yesterday on the way home from work.  I am very excited about my new toy, I don't know much about sergers, I don't even have threads to test the machine now.  I requested some books from library.  So I can learn more about how to use the sergers and what can I do with sergers except hemming.  Tomorrow we will go to JoAnn to get some threads and some Simplicity Patterns (they are on sale now 5 for $5).
