A Fresh Approach

This humble sewing machine turned out to be a workhorse with a heart of a lion. No electricity, no problem. In 30 seconds, this little gem converts to foot pedal……..all you need is a candle to light your way.

Robin loves these special projects. After many years, the prayer tower on LWT campus needed some TLC inside and out. Paint, light fixtures, wood facings were all updated.  including Robin’s contribution, making covers for the new cushions.

Looking around for an upholstery capable machine, this was found in a corner of the LWT/Bible Institute, just waiting to be called into service. The aircraft mechanic in me was curious and proceeded to take it apart to see how it worked. I replaced the little electric motor and belt, adding a drop of oil here and there, I was amazed at how simple but strong the internal workings were. I loosened the two screws holding a round silver hatch, when I pushed it aside I was astonished to find……………but that’s another story.

20 custom cushions later, these fresh addition lend a little color to the look and feel of the recently updated campus prayer tower. Robin never seems to run out of ways to serve those around her.
