Too good for the attic: An old Privileg Raffinesse

26.08.2017 by Sabine Schmidt

Zu schade für den Dachboden: Eine alte Privileg Raffinesse
Just a few days after my new Janome moved in with me, my dear sister-in-law Wiebke sent me an old Privileg Raffinesse. A little treasure like that is just too good to be hidden away in the attic, right? ;)

My old Privileg Raffinesse

Oh, I'm so happy! The old Privileg Raffinesse must be from around 1996, if I'm correctly informed. And it didn't just come to me in perfect working order – it also brought along some wonderful sewing accessories. By the way, an older model like this is a great sewing machine for learning the basics. You quickly get to know its tricks and features and can fully focus on the sewing without having to spend hours studying the technical side first. So: If you ever get the chance to grab such a gem, go for it!
But actually, I'm not just writing today to introduce the Privileg Raffinesse, but to show you all the wonderful things that came along with it. I can truly revel in these! Just take a look!

Sabine

Ich komme aus Siegen-Wittgenstein, wo ich meine Kindheit damit verbrachte, Kühe einzureiten, von Heuhaufen zu hopsen und in “Handarbeiten” eine 4- zu kassieren.

Kreativ zu sein empfinde ich heute als unbeschreibliches Glück – das sich noch vermehrt, wenn ich es mit anderen teilen kann. Seit 2016 feiere ich auf diesem Blog meine Nähleidenschaft und freue mich, dass das Nähen so viele Menschen verbindet.
