I just got a brand spankin' new sewing machine, and it's super awesome. It does everything. But I still love my old sewing machine, it works fine and I feel super sentamental towards it and I want to make sure it still gets love from someone now that I don't need it anymore . I'm gonna try to sell it, so I wanna find it a good home. I thought I would make it super glam and sexy, so that no one could resist it.
I really wish that I had taken a picture of it before I got started, it was so increadably retro and yellow. What I did to give it a fresh look was to spray it with a primer. I used a plastic spray paint primer that I had bought for the case. I tested it and found it worked fine on the metal body. I taped off everything methodically ( and I mean really methodically, I used an exacto knife to get really clean edges). Then I sprayed two light coats of the primer and let it dry really well. I've found the best way to use spray paint is to be patient with it. Light coats and lots of time to dry give it a really nice look and make the paint stick better. Then I coated it with 2-3 coats of the orchid pink spray paint.
I plan on painting this with a tatoo'ish inspired peacock with a giant tail, and I think I might add some embellishments with swakorski crystal at the end to make it super sharp. I'll keep posting the steps as I go, I should have it done in the next couple off weeks.
