I didn't plan on this

There was a 1950s miniature hand-cranked sewing machine in the window of the secondhand shop I passed on my way back from the Tube, and .... yeah. In my defense, it was very cheap.

It's a Vulcan, and Google tells me that it was sold as a toy but should be functional (basic chain stitch).

I've never owned a sewing machine before; I'm Googling liek whoa, but if anyone has recs for sites about how to use sewing machines, antique sewing machine care, etc. etc. I would be very appreciative.

I wouldn't have been able to pass it up either. Pictures please!
