Next up on my workbench is this fantastic Singer 403 Slant-O-Matic! She came in for a clean and service, but its been a minute (at least 4 years) since she has had one! What will I find? I love a good satisfying clean on machines that havent been opened in a while! #sewingmachinerepair #apprentice

On my bench today! Singer Touch and Sew 648. I did a cursory evaluation, and shes a little bound up. Her nylon gears all still look intact, but there is a lot of lint and old grease so its hard to see every tooth. So, I will give her the spa treatment and see if I can get her back to sewing!

This lovely lady is on my bench for a spa treatment! She came in with stitching issues, the tension was all over the place! Time for a cleaning to see if we can get her back to beautiful stitches again! Goodness how I love these gorgeous vintage machines! 😍

ICE is upset that ICE isn't welcome in restaurants after ICE ordered food at a restaurant, ate it, then arrested restaurant employees, and ICE believes this is someone else's fault, do I have that right?

“An administration official gave away the game to Punchbowl News, admitting that these “de-escalatory measures” are about placating Senate Democrats so they don’t seize this moment to demand restrictions on ICE as part of any government funding package.”

Donald Trump Is Frightened
Trump wants to appear eager to minimize out-of-control clashes between government militias and protesters. But he doesn’t want to stop the things causing those clashes in the first place.

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants.
Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this.

Just wrapped up working on this awesome machine! What a cool one! 😍 Lint buildup and tangled threads on the needle bar assembly are such a common problem leading to stitching issues. Glad I could get it cleaned up and back to work! #sewingmachine #apprenticeship #sewing #repair #apprenticelife

The absolute slimeball. Make this go viral! Douchecanoes have no place working in our senate. Since we are name calling now 🤣🤣🤣
This is a United States Senator
MACK: I was laid off from HHS and now people aren’t getting social services, especially people with disabilities
BANKS: You probably deserved it
MACK: Why did I deserve it?
BANKS: Because you look like a clown
