On the long weekend we visited Maryborough in central Victoria and discovered the
Flour Mill Gallery - home to an amazing sewing machine collection.
 |
| The Flour Mill Gallery at Maryborough |
 |
| The collection is five years old and still growing |
 |
| The museum entrance - retro rather than vintage |
 |
| Industrial Singer machines - still in working order |
 |
| A set of Featherweights |
 |
| Italian sewing machines |
 |
| German sewing machines |
 |
Japanese sewing machines - copies of the Singer E15,
made in any colour your heart desired. |
 |
| Australian machine - made in Bendigo |
 |
For sale machines. I didn't bring one home, although
the gold coloured Singer in the top row was very tempting. |
Wow! A wonderful collection of sewing machines. Are they strictly display or some for sale? I never thought about there being Australian machines.
