Looks awesome! I'm picking up my old commercial Singer from my old house in Saint Augustine this week (long story), your wife has inspired me to give that thing another shot!
Wow, that's some seriously nice looking work. She pulled that off for her first time after just reading a couple of tech articles? Somehow I can't imagine my first effort would ever be that nice. Looks pretty pro to me.
she did a amazing job man, awesome. i wish i can get mine to atleast ride in it much less do work on it.
Great interior! Your wife is a pro. I bought a commercial Singer machine at an estate sale last month, then a big bolt of hyde at the Pate Swap Meet a couple weeks later. Now when I get some space cleared in the garage I'll have something to work with. I imagine I'll learn, mostly from my wife, making the obilatory covers for everything that doesn't have a cover, then when the stitchery is under control move on to to cushions and maybe a door panel for the 57 if it hasn't sold by then.
