Vintage Singer treadle sewing machine. An old very loved teddy bear sits waiting for some clothes to be sewn
Been hidden from the light of day Carefully I dust the years away As I clean my thoughts go back I’m sitting on my grandmother's lap I learnt to sew on one like this I close my eyes clickety-click The needle chunters up and down A rhythmic hypnotic sound The bullet shuttle hums to and fro Her foot works the treadle I feel the flow Her gentle hands guiding mine I learn to sew clickety-clack Sitting on my grandmother's lap.
