Are those taper legs? Yes! Is the stain a perfect match for this desk? Yes! Is the sewing machine that retro shade of aqua that I find so luscious? A thousand times yes!
While the table's not crucial furniture, I think I can modify the table to fit Gertrude, my more modern sewing machine, which would give me a nice flat surface. Gertrude's no looker, but she probably has to stay my workhorse machine.
On the other hand, the old Singer seems to work—I need to play with it a bit more—and it has such a big throat that I wonder if it might prove useful as well as lovely. And even if lovely turns out to be the Singer's only real quality, I think she's mighty cute.
So now I'm off to scour the Internet for a manual, clean her up a bit, and see what she can do.

She is lovely. I found an old singer slantomatic on the curb in a lovely sewing table. Who would toss that out.
Aw, sweet! I don't think I've ever seen a machine with an actual color.
Don't throw that out! Those old Singers are complete work horses. Get it tuned up and you'll love it!
