Great British Sewing Bee Series 6

First off props where they are do.  Series six was much better than series five.  Joe has reigned a little of his more cringe inducing behavior that was a massive distraction for me with series five, becoming an overly annoying clown (see photo) less often.  He's still not in the same league as Claudia Winkleman, but at least he is less horrific.

Happy Birthday to Me! (Part 2) - Singer 95-40

 This one was more of an adventure for the wife than the 107.  And even more of a double surprise.

Oops, Forgot One - Singer 101 (1923)

 I didn't really forget it.  Just kept putting it off.  I mentioned it before when I talked about our 2018 road trips.  This was one of two picked up from Miriam, a friend from Victorian Sweatshop, when we passed through Indiana.

Happy Birthday to Me! Singer 107W5

 I complain about zigzagging a lot.  If you've read any of my posts about the 401/403/Automatic Zigzagger you probably know this already.  Now just imagine how much my wife has heard it.  I'm kind of thinking that's why for my birthday this year she went down to Norm and asked for a zigzag machine that would shut me up.  And here it is.  A 1940 allotted Singer 107W5
