Valentine’s day


Valentines’s day is my favourite day of the year right behind Christmas eve, but I guess it has to be as it’s my birthday.
I’m so glad to be able to celebrate my birthday with my lovely ones and my future-husband. Every year its a great day and we have wonderful time together!


Yesterday we had a good brunch and I got a wonderful and surprising present: a historical “Original Victoria” sewing machine


There is a little history to it: Some weeks ago I saw this sewing machine in the internet offered for sale and I wanted it so heavily. Unfortunately I was so overworked and had a long to-do list, that I didn’t take the time to have a call with the seller. And then it was sold!
Yesterday morning I got to know who bought it: my Dad!

The condition is very good but it was very dirty and there was no belt there anymore.

He cleaned and varnished it and brought it to shine again! The belt he got on amazon very cheap and as he’s very good with his hands it was quickly looking beautiful again!



I already researched a little bit and now I know these machines were produced in Magdeburg, Germany. The Company called Mundlos&Schulz was founded in 1863 and Heinrich Mundlos was one of the founder and there also machines called "Mundlos"
But the "Mundlos" machines aren't as beautiful as this, they are more simple in their optic, the stand is very plain and there is no inlaying at the tabletop.

Introduction


Hello my lovelies!

I think I start this Blog now at the worst time ever.
Very shortly before one of the greatest lifetime goals in my life will start. In about two weeks we start building our house, but If I don’t start it now, I guess it will never happen and I am dancing with this dream for so long time!

I love sewing for so long time and I love to wear costume since I'm a little child. Some years ago I was introduced to the wonderful live of historical clothing and now I am sewing and dreaming of this wonderful times and eras.

My Blog will start with some projects of my past, but it will be feeded with an great amount of new projects in future. I found this blog, because I am stunned and extremely motivated by these great impressions of that wonderful blogs (as Before the automobile or dressed in time and many more)!
I hope I will get in contact with some other historical costume crazies!
My wish is to be inspired and motivated most of times to have some interesting and motivating themes and projects for you to find in my blog.
