Vintage Toy Sewing Machines

Hi everyone!


In my adventures this past weekend, I came across three (yes, three!) vintage toy sewing machines. I honestly didn't know if these toys were actually functional machines, but it turns out that they are!


I really don't know very much history about these machines, and I would love to know more! There are so many different styles and models, that I can assume they must have been quite popular back in the day. Do you have any knowledge about toy sewing machines? Please share in the comments!


In the end, I decided it was too soon to buy one for my two-year-old daughter, but maybe you have an older child who would like one of the models below...
