I’ve been scouring the earth to find a toy sewing machine for Scarlet for awhile, but I’ve only encountered toy-looking machines that actually include a needle – too dangerous at her age. There’s a barbie one
, a hello kitty one
, even a bratz one
(no thanks). My mom found this vintage fisher price cutie on ebay and won it for Scarlet, and she ADORES IT. It has a plastic fake needle that goes up and down and makes a fun clicking sound when you turn the wheel. Scarlet dug up an old doily and says “Mommy I sew this for you” and pretends to run it through the machine. So cute.
