Sewing History Websites by web address
I often find sewing related websites by accident, but can never remember how to find them again, once I close them. I have realized I need to store them somewhere, so I can find them again, & research them, because there is a TON of great information out there, but so much of it, is in obscure web pages & sites, which often get shut down, forgotten, etc., so by at least sharing them here, I can find them again, & so can YOU!

Facebook has a new vintage sewing group, the support group for the brand new Vintage Sewing Center & Museum, Inc. in Tulsa, Oklahoma, created by Wk Binger (Wayne). Wayne is a professional tree trimmer by trade, but after discovering the joys of the old sewing machines, when he decided to recover the vinyl interior of his boat cabin, he found out what incredible vintage machines are out there, & the variety of makes & models. As his interest grew, he fixed items up, & generously gifted them to online sewing buddies, in the groups he was a member of, at that time. As group members mobbed him, hoping to get his next give away, the owner of the sewing machine group page got a bit jealous, & kicked Wayne & anyone supporting him, out of the group. Some of us switched to Wayne's personal page, sharing sewing machine information with him, & providing research & "input", as he put the massive finances, & physical labor, of finding, & starting the museum. He wants it to be a place to sew, not just look at machines, he wants to put them to use, so people who had family machines, that they didn't use, began donating those machines, sewing tables, sewing machine feet, manuals & other paraphernalia, to the museum, which will be opening sometime in 2018!
