About: I got an old sewing machine when I was just a kid, and I've been hooked on making stuff ever since. My name is Sam and I'm a community manager here at Instructables.

We all have funny things we geek-out about.

For me it's sewing machines from the 1940s through 1970s.

I like tinkering with machines from this era as well as sewing with them, specifically Berninas, Pfaffs, and Necchis.

There are a lot of "old sewing machine" geeks out there, and we have a lot of fun with our vintage machines.

This is how I make simple, sturdy cases for my old sewing machines. I also make custom hinges to mount the machines into the cases.

If you've got an old sewing machine that you love, you should give it a proper home! : )

This is how I do it. Thanks for reading!!
