The Singer, Restored

The first entry merits both the 'Ordinary' and 'Extraordinary' tags.

Ordinary machine, Extraordinarily (and lovingly) gifted to me by my Grandmother and serviced to fine restoration by a seaside local with ridiculous sewing machine skills.

Threading instructions by Mum, photographic evidence step-by-step (I love you, convenient iPhone camera), lest I forget, by yours truly.
