This “love story” started a long time ago, a couple of years ago. Once I had a job, thanks to which I visited almost all the restaurants in the center of Kyiv. In one very cozy place, I noticed that all the tables are made of old sewing machines ok Singer. I really remember this idea. And she lay in my head until the next meeting with a similar table, which took place in the city of Drogobich (Lviv region). Walking around the city, I went to the store of things self made. It was very nice there. A lot of different very stylish and unusual things, and again ... a table of sewing machine... Then this idea was already firmly planted in my head, and besides, I infected my husband Kostya with it.
The search began for the machine, which, fortunately, did not last long. My great-aunt offered us to pick up her old sewing machine, which has been lying in her country house for a long time. A lot of time passed before we transported this “treasure” from Vinnitsa to Kyiv, then another six months, until we were ready to implement this idea. And we made the table itself in just 5 days and just fell in love with it!
How did we do it?
Step 1
They dismantled the table, threw out a completely outdated countertop and other parts from the typewriter. True, they left a box (we put it in it). All the details were washed in the shower, cleaned from a hundred years of plaque with a metal brush.
Step 2
Leg painting. Kostya took all the metal parts to the garage and painted them by hanging them on a wire.
Painted with wear-resistant paint 4 in 1. It turned out a very beautiful matte finish.
Step 3
Bought pine furniture board. Dimensions: 100 x 60 x 1.8 cm.
For painting, we chose the “Pinotex Interior” transparent paint and tinted it in a purple-burgundy color. This color is just right for the color palette that we have defined for the room. In addition, it is dark enough not to distract or irritate the eyes while working.
We decided to cover the tree with a roller, because it applies paint more evenly than a brush and does not leave streaks and furrows.
The tabletop has been painted three times. Between layers kept for 2-3 hours, although this paint dries almost instantly. The peculiarity of "Pinotex Interior" is that it does not leave a greasy layer, but is completely absorbed into the wood, since it is on water based. That is, the effect is obtained, as from a stain, but this paint, in addition to tinting, also protects the wood.
Here is such a velvety effect after a three-layer coating. But we decided to also cover the table top with acrylic varnish for reliability, since this sewing machine table will be complete computer desk, for which we will sometimes drink tea or coffee :) We were not sure that Pinotex would react favorably to spilled coffee. And the polish will hold up.
Step 4
Lacquering. Why did we choose acrylic lacquer? Firstly, because there is a child in the house, and even if you cover the countertop with oil varnish in the garage, you will have to wait a while until the unpleasant toxic smell disappears. Acrylic varnish is absolutely non-toxic. Secondly, it dries quickly and on the same day you can fix the table top. Thirdly, this varnish can be applied with a very thin, imperceptible layer, which was to our advantage, because we still wanted to preserve the velvety.
During painting, the varnish has white shade, but then this effect disappears and the layer becomes completely transparent.
Step 5
Table marking for fixtures. We did it with masking tape so as not to stain the paint layer with a pencil (or something worse :)). Everything was measured, the location of the legs was determined.
Installed the tabletop in the right place.
Xenia actively helped :)
We put marks in the holes on the legs through which the old tabletop was attached. They will be clearly visible on the tape. According to the marks, we drill holes for furniture nuts.
After the holes are ready, you need to hammer furniture nuts into them.
You can also play with nuts: scatter them throughout the apartment, and then collect them together with the whole family. This lesson is suitable for taking a little break from the hard work on creating a table from a sewing machine :)
We fix the table top on the legs and the table is ready! This is what Costino looks like now workplace. True, now we have to fight for the opportunity to sit at the computer desk, because we only have one graphics tablet, and I really want to draw on it :)))
Ficus also clung to this love story, and, in my opinion, very successfully.
Now the modest Soviet chair is waiting for alterations. He will become a concise addition to the male workplace. But that is another story…
I remember that as a child, my grandmother had a special table in the house - a Singer sewing machine. It was wooden on top, and a sewing machine folded upside down under the tabletop, plus two openwork legs made of cast iron, a wheel on the side and a wide pedal at the bottom ... For the first time, I learned to sew on just such a machine. It was later that electrical units appeared - more compact and modern, and, alas, no one needed such tables.
However, do not rush to throw such a rarity in the trash. A little time and fantasy - and old table from under the sewing machine can be transformed into a pretty unusual items interior. Here are some interesting ideas for inspiration.
1. The simplest thing that can come from the cast iron base of an old sewing machine is a great dinner table. The heavy ornate bed will withstand even a fairly wide table top. How great it is to gather the whole family at one table and remember what happened before ...
2. Modern table for a computer or laptop - also quite a worthy metamorphosis for such a table. The so-called eclecticism. If you use a glass tabletop, then such a table will fit even into a high-tech interior.
3. Just a few strokes - and it turned out to be quite solid desk for creative people.
4. Perhaps the most elegant idea is a dressing table. On flip cover you can place a mirror, and in drawers store cosmetics and all sorts of little things.
5. Washbasin from an old sewing machine in the bathroom or in the country? Incredible idea! But very original.
6. Replacing the countertop instantly changes the shape of the old relic. This coffee table in the living room is simply unrecognizable!
7. Look how good these openwork legs from a Singer typewriter look in vintage or shabby chic interiors. I would love to turn my grandmother's old table into such a console for a vase of flowers. You just need to replace the countertop and repaint the cast-iron legs.
A brief description of the main characteristics of foreign sewing machines manufactured in the 50-80s that ended up in our country. As well as a list of old models of Soviet-made sewing machines.

Antique Singer typewriters
Almost all models of vintage antique cars already produced on a mass scale had not only a standard appearance, but also a similar device. This is due to the fact that the patent for the production of this model of the sewing machine belonged to the company Singer. And, despite the different names of cars, for example Afrana (photo), they were all produced in those days only under a Singer license.
Such models of sewing machines have long worked out their resource and are of no value as a sewing machine, as a production tool. Only lovers retro style fashionable now direction of interior design, they may be of interest, and then, if they are in such a satisfactory condition.
Such machines have a shuttle of an outdated design. It was used in the first editions of sewing machines.
Most often, such rare cars are in a very worn condition and many of its components and mechanisms can no longer be repaired.

In addition to the zigzag stitch, there are a number of other types of stitches. The choice of stitch is determined by the installed copier (plastic round inserts). Naturally, the machine has an electric drive, a good reliable pedal and a convenient and strong case for transportation or storage.

Nevertheless, the Chaika 2 sewing machine is more reliable and better assembled than subsequent series.

Once an old sewing machine "sailed" into my grasping hands. Singer machine, in almost working condition.
Original ideas for using an old sewing machine in interior decor
The efficiency of the sewing machine was restored by 95% by me, in about three days of persistent picking of the mechanical part, after which it began to sew perfectly. The only thing that did not suit me was its appearance: the stand dried out and staggered on all its spiked joints, the paint on the body was chipped and worn off in many places, the chrome parts were scratched.
This is what the Singer sewing machine looked like before my creative intervention (mechanics removed). There is a certain angular-monogram ornament of Art Nouveau style all over the body. In general, the ornament is built in the "Ra-symbolism": the sun, the sphinx, lotuses, wings - a stylization of the Egyptian style.
I thought just a little, about a month or two, and decided to give my Singer a look worthy of his status.
Preparation for painting was complex and lengthy. I immediately gave the stand to the carpenters I knew, who immediately smashed it, sanded it with high quality and reassembled it. It turned out that the stand was made of mahogany, nothing else. I planned to simply paint the stand in a more dark color, toned with stain, however, when I covered the tree with one layer of varnish, I realized that the color was already perfect without toning.
The machine itself had to be scraped down to bare metal for a long time. All the old paint along with the primer had to be removed. Several types of sandpaper, knives and an awl for the most microscopic details and holes were used.
When the metal was completely free of paint, I wiped it down with acetone and applied two coats of automotive acrylic primer from a spray can. Each layer of soil was lightly cleaned with fine sandpaper very carefully. In the next photo, the body of the machine and all its other parts are already covered with soil. In order not to splatter the chrome and other parts that do not require painting, I sealed them partly with masking tape, partly with electrical tape.
It is best to paint on metal, even on a primer oil paints, and not on turpentine, but on a tee: oil, turpentine, varnish. Stylistically, the traditional Zhostovo painting on trays was most suitable for the surface and character of the product, where lush buds of a flower bouquet seem to emerge from a dark background.
The first painting run was unsuccessful. In the next photo, the original underpainting, which was washed off the next day, because this is not what I wanted.
And here is what you need.
And almost the same flower ornament on the stand, but with some differences.
Gilding has already been added to the painting on the stand. Zhostovo, although he uses gold in painting, but not in the quantities that I used. By the way, my gold is gold powder mixed with acrylic lacquer. Let's add gold embellishments to the ornament on the case.
Close-up:
After complete drying, the painting of the machine was covered with three layers of automotive acrylic lacquer the same series as the soil. Each layer of varnish, except for the last one, was carefully cleaned by zero sandpaper("zero") in the presence of water (wet sandpaper).
The stand is covered with PF varnish in a standard way for wood.
The photos show a brand new Singer assembled. It looks like it came off the assembly line this morning.
Well, actually, everything. My Singer sewing machine is painted in imitation Zhostovo style. The program is 100% complete. The result, to be honest, exceeded my expectations.
What is the future of the sewing machine?
I do not know yet, but most likely I will sell.

Hello dear readers! Probably everyone remembers the old foot sewing machines of the world famous Singer brand, at that time such a machine was especially popular with seamstresses, thanks to the bed with a footrest, which made it possible to significantly save on electricity, and was also famous for its ability to seamlessly sew even the thickest materials.

2. Dressing tables from an old sewing machine.
For the dressing table, you can leave the entire base entirely, i.e. not only the metal part, but also a wooden tabletop with side drawers and a hinged lid. To make the table look neater, all parts of the bed must be sanded and repainted in suitable color. And in the department with a hinged lid (where the sewing machine used to hide), place a plywood box lined with fabric, and fix a mirror on the lid itself from the inside.

In some houses in the corridor or hallway there are tables for small things (keys, cell phones, flower pots, photo frames), so why not replace the boring monotonous table with a more elegant one with an interesting metal base. Moreover, for its implementation it is not required special costs subject to the presence of an old foot machine. It is necessary to decide on the countertop (wood or glass), clean, paint the base, and, well, connect the base to the countertop.

At night, the covers removed from the bed can be carefully hung on a special rack, especially such a thing will be relevant in a children's room with several beds, so the kids will be accustomed to order. On the basis of the machine, a box with bolted beams is installed, on which linen or bedspreads are subsequently hung out.
